That IS good news - I don't think you've really got anything to worry about
with GNU (it's horrible and linux-based) but the fact that you can download
a Borland optimizing compiler AND debugger from Borland for free in UNDER 20
MB should worry you, currently.
I certainly hope reliability of the SDK's installer come top of the priority
list aswell. I don't know why but I've only got 28 files in my
SDK\v1.1\Include directory. There is one .cpp, one .def and the others are
.h and .idl files. There is no windows.h. Reinstalling windows, fixing the
disk, and reinstalling the SDK wouldn't make the header files reappear. I
phoned up Microsoft, but they wanted £185 to even attempt to start giving an
answer to my question. This doesn't bode well for the reputation of
Microsoft, certainly in my esteem anyway - and how many other people are
experiencing the same thing? Microsoft have long been successful due to two
main factors - commercial aggressiveness and technical excellence, but if
they're losing the edge on the latter to other outfits.... I now therefore
not only prefer to use Borland, but have no other option.
I would definitely be interested to know if Microsoft have decided to do the
right thing and include an optimizer for free though. I mean it's mainly
businesses that spend the money on the pricey software anyway, and they are
going to buy the IDE no matter what not because they want the optimizer, but
because they want their staff to use the IDE to build applications as
quickly as possible. Keeping the hobbyist satisfied
