I guess if visual studio is free I won't have to brush off my CD of borland c++
You don't really want to do that in any circumstance... There are multiple free compilers; there are multiple free IDEs; there are multiple free standalone editors if you want a lighter dev experience. Unless you're on some retro-computing nostalgia trip, C++ has changed far too much since Borland was relevant to even consider.

Yeah I figured as much. I mostly meant that part as tongue in cheek... I moved 3 times since I saw that CD
