Is it possible to get the same level of control over windows with the
Borland compiler and their ObjectWindows AF as it is with the
Microsoft compiler and SDK?  I want to be able to get down to the
"real nuts & bolts" of windows in order to do a non-standard
application (i.e. it won't look like the examples in Borland's
documents, maybe like nothing in the Petzold book, either).  Can I do
it with Borland's compiler?

Also, anybody got anything good, bad, or indifferent to say about
Microsoft's 7.0 release?  Still supposed to be available tomorrow like
I hear?  I'll keep your anonomity if you'd like. :-)
