1 second slow??!!  Oh no!!!!  I'm deffinately not going to buy it now!! : D..

AK> - Can it do everything that Borland can? 

 SL> Aside from Borlandisms, yes.

Is it true Watcom can do OS/2 and Borland requires additional software?

AK> - Is there anything better about Borland?

 SL> Some think that it is friendlier.

Ahhh yes.  That's very important to me.

AK> - How about the interface, windows based like Borland's? 

 SL> There is a Windows IDE, yes.
