Listen, if you do not plan on getting into doing any Window's
programming, then you really have no need to get the upgrade. However,
if you are at ALL familiar with the woes of the Microsoft SDK, and the
quality of the WhiteWater Resource Toolkit (which alone normally costs
about 150) that comes with the new Borland C++, then you don't even
know how good of a deal this really is. There is no need for the SDK
with this package. Look around at some prices of Microsoft C and the
Microsoft SDK, both of which are required to do Windows programming,
and I think you'll understand. We needed something like this, especially those
of us that could not afford the ridiculous prices of Micorsoft C and the SDK.

Also don't forget that you may always return the product within 60
days for a refund if you are not satisfied. :-)


BTW, I am in no way affiliated with Borland, other than just being a VERY
satisfied customer.
