Borland C++, a popular Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and compiler for developing Windows applications, was first released by Borland in 1993. The product targeted two distinct markets: professional application development on one end and home/hobbyist market on the other.

For professionals looking to create complex software solutions, Borland offered an advanced version called Borland C++. This edition included a host of features designed specifically for commercial developers, such as:

1. Additional tools: These added functionality beyond what was available in lower-end versions.

2. Compiler code-optimization: This feature allowed developers to fine-tune their compiled applications for maximum performance and efficiency.

In addition to these technical enhancements, Borland C++ also came with comprehensive documentation that catered directly to the needs of professional software professionals.

On the other hand, Turbo C++, another version of Borland's IDE/Compiler suite was targeted towards home users who were new to programming or just starting out as hobbyists. It offered a more streamlined set of features compared to its higher-end counterpart while still providing all necessary tools for developing simple applications.

However, by 1997 things began changing fast! In an effort to adapt themselves better within rapidly evolving software landscape Borland decided it was time let go off both these products altogether!

Instead they launched something called 'Borland C++ Builder' which combined best qualities from previous versions but with added twist - now aimed exclusively towards .NET framework developers only.
