I have used both the Microsoft SDK with Microsoft "C" compiler and the
Borland C++ 2.0 compiler which comes with a complete Windows 3.0
development environment.  There is no doubt about it, the Borland
product blows the Microsoft SDK out of the water.  The only thing you
have to worry about is that some commercial products (typically I have
found in the SQL products, but I am sure elsewhere as well) don't
provide libraries for Borland products (they haven't realized that it is
a truly professional development platform.)  If there is any product you
must absolutly use, check for compatibility.  If there are no problems
with this, get the Borland compiler.
