Anybody downloaded the free VS Express Beta apps? I'm downloading VC++
Express Beta and SQL Server Express Beta as we speak. These are generally
MS's new "free"versions of their tools. They don't have all the bells and
whistles of the full versions but according to MS, VC++ has the same
optimizing compiler that the full versions will have. I have stuck with
BC++ 6.0 since it was realeased, but it is an absolute joke what Borland has
done to it's C++ customers. Or should I say, hasn't done for it's
customers. Let ya'll know how this goes.

how their transition to Microsoft development tools is going. If we are
all going to be forced to go there, we might as well stick together.

Lots and lots of RAD in this product. The main negative is that the Express
tools are .NET-specific. So you can't use (say) VS.NET Express C++ Edition
as a replacement for C++ Builder.
