By $0.02 worth:

The source code for a Windows application written in BC++ 2.0 should be
virtually identical to the same application written in MS C (unless you
elect to use some of the non-standard turboisms (which are clearly marked
as such in the manuals)).

In particular, the Windows routines are called the same way (in fact
both use the same windows.h file (which has all the function prototypes).

The chief advantage of BC++ 2.0 is speed.  I've used MS C 5.1 and it's 
simply too slow.  Borland's compiler is much faster.
