I am looking for information about MS Windows programming in C++.

I understand that the Windows SDK is an absolute necessity.

A couple of questions:

1)  Which compiler / preprocessor would you recommend, both for overall
value and performance and for ease of use with Windows?

2)  Are there any problems with native-code C++ compilers linking the
Windows libraries (i.e., is it better to go with a preprocessor)?

3)  Are there any good C++ Windows libraries available?

4)  Any problems that I should watch for?

Thanks in advance,
