What tools do people recommend for programming Windows?  I know of the
following:

Microsoft SDK.

Borland C++ (and other languages).

Digitalk Smalltalk/V.

Which of these are best?  Are there any others I should look at?  Please
bear in mind that I'm on a very limited budget.

Are there any free C++ classes for programming Windows, like the InterViews
library for X?

I suspect that the Smalltalk approach is probably the easiest, because
the system should take care of memory management and lots of low-level
details.

Dave.
