Nope, Turbo C++ 1.0 and Turbo C 2.0 still don't support MS Windows.
I haven't heard anything official (or unofficial) from Borland, but
they've made general statements that they're moving toward Windows

I'm not speaking for the company, I'm just speaking my mind.
I have no relationship with Borland except as a happy customer
(but then again, I'm not writing MS Windows applications.)
