Would C++ be the best language to develop advanced applications? If it is should i use Visual C++, Borland C++ or a different company?? If it is not the best language to use which would be a suitable language?

C++ is a good choice for advanced applications IMO. You could also try C# (which isn't that much of a change from C++).

In my experience Borland C++ is very buggy. We used to work with it at school and it was horrible. I use the Visual Studio now. You can get a free version of Visual C++ btw. Visual Studio isn't perfect, but if you have a problem it's way easier to find an answer than with Borland.

the last 5 years of my life, i was developing a program for computational modeling of articular cartilage in C++. i had to call some Fortran subroutines from it and it was easy, so i liked it. and most important for me was the speed. using java, for example, the speed of my computations would be much worse. with some complicated application, be careful with memory management, it can be crucial. i was using Visual Studio, no complains there.

Visual Studio is okay, except when you want to do GUI, then I hate it. It's so tedius. wxDev-C++ is my favourite if I want to do GUI stuff, but a bit buggy.
