conviently my MSVC++ 6 cd has a scratch on it and it won't install however I have just tried Dev-C++ and it is fantastic. Truly a great replacement to MSVC++.

the last time I programmed using windows (phew ... that's a while ago  ;) ) I also had a look at dev-C++ but found it a little buggy and crash prone. Seeing I wasn't doing windows development anyway (gameboy) I just used ultraedit, which is a nice editor. When I use linux (i.e. 99% of the time) Kate is my editor of choice.

For Winders programming, I favor Borland's C++ compiler and the FOX Toolkit (http://www.fox-toolkit.org/fox.html). FOX works just the same, whether you're writing Linux or Win32 apps. All you have to do is compile on the platform you're going to run on; no need to do any rewrites. Not only that, it's a free download.

I personally favor EMACS or Vim for editing. I had both installed on Winders as well as Linux. Beats the living hell out of Notepad or the Borland editor (neither of which do split windows - most inconvenient to say the least)
