Free tools available from Microsoft alone:

Visual C++ Toolkit 2003 -- compiler, linker, etc.:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/vctoolkit2003/

Beta of Visual Studio 2005 Express, including compiler, linker, GUI editor,
debugger, project system, etc.:
http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/express/visualc/default.aspx

You may want express editions of other MS languages. See
http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/vs2005/ for Visual Basic, Visual C#, Visual J#,
SQL, Visual Web Developer.

If you want complete documentation for Visual Studio 2005, you have to download
express edition of MSDN library from
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=30100&clcid=0x409 (additional 200 or
300Mb), or you have to tell Visual Studio to use help from the Internet.

You are getting highly standard-compiant compiler with either of those
downloads. If you want to develop Windows programs you probably want to download
Windows SDK that includes Windows headers and libraries, for details see

Thanks,
