Well, back in the 90s', when I was learning C++, my friend and I 
walked into the software store one day (yeah, no online back 
then), and the product we both decided on, was the product with 
the biggest box (i.e. the most books).

At that particular time, it was Borland C++ that had the biggest 
box, with the most books. So we settled on that.

Of course I never read them all.

If we were in the 90's still, I'd say that maybe D needs a bigger 
box.
