What is OWL? a thick Windows binding? Where is a description in
more detail than an ad but cheaper than buying it. ;)

If you want the level one description, you have just given it. It is
an abstraction layer that is much higher than the Microsoft
Foundation Classes (themselves a little higher than the Windows
API).
For the level 2 description, you will need to invest a few hours
so you may as well get a book on the subject or the Borland
Pascal compiler.

It sounds like the two best Windows development environments are
Visual C++ and Delphi. Two questions:
- is there a good place to read an in-depth comparison between the
two, without going out and buying both?
- does anybody have an idea about the relative number of developers
using these two environments?
