Free development tools from Microsoft
The Visual Studio Express series tools don't have all the features of the Standard and Professional editions, but for smaller projects they should be quite sufficient. I'm using the Expess versions of Visual Basic and Visual C++, and I don't complain.
Visual C++ Express might be sufficient for e.g. Symbian OS and Windows Mobile application development, but I haven't checked.
Is this a response to Eclipse and NetBeans and/or the fact that the alternative for many economically challenged students and hobbyists would be to download the tools from Piratebay or similar?
