No. 
There are two versions of Turbo C++; Turbo C++ for Windows and Turbo
C++. The Windows version includes Windows support (obviously), a
Windows-only IDE, and the ObjectWindows application framework. The DOS
version does not include support for Windows, has a DOS IDE, and comes 
either with or without the TurboVision (DOS app) application framework. 

Borland C++ can come either with or without BOTH application 
frameworks. Regardless, it includes support for Windows applications. 
It has both a DOS and a WIndows IDE. It also includes goodies like 
Turbo Assembler and Turbo Profiler. More significantly, it is an 
optimizing compiler, and Turbo C++ is not.
