I have to agree here 100%. I too own SDK and MSC and can tell you that working
with BC++ is much better, the compiler and linker options are much simpler and
I can create C++ classes and such for it. This is a big win, not to mention
that it is half the price of Microsoft's environment.

I was impressed by the fact that I could return it within 30 days for a full
refund if I wasn't satisfied. Microsoft should provide that! :-)
