Hmm, VC++ express is somewhat limited, You can do useful things with it, 
but you have to be prepared to program to straight Win32, which, to say 
the least is painful. MFC helps in this regards. Though, you can use 
Managed C++, which has the .NET framework available. I admit, I haven't 
really done anything in Managed C++, preferring to use C# for .net 
development.

I used to have a suite of POSIX tools for Windows. Eclipse was a nice 
editor, but I never really got into Java development. (Which may seem 
strange, seeing as I really like C#, now.)
