Does Microsoft plan to bring out a C++ compiler which can be used to write windows applications? If not I'd like to start a rumour in the hope that they will! ;^) I figure the idea must have occured to them, so, shall I wait, or shall I buy Borland's Turbo C++ 2.0 instead?! (No windows support I pressume). I liked Turbo C, so I'm tempted.

First half of '91 is the time frame.

Microsoft is in fact working on C++. It will be released as Microsoft C 7.0.
I got this from Microsoft when I was there a few weeks ago. It will be
c++ version 2.1. It will have Codeview integrated into the environment.
No need to start a rumor, the rumor has been around for a long time.
Microsoft has been working on C++ for over two years. They admit they
have had a hard time with it.

Or you can check out Zortech's C++ compiler which has supported
Windows development for the past year. Call 800-848-8408 if you
need more information, or email me.
