Hello,

I'm a long-time Unix/Linux developer who is looking to try out some Windows development. I took a test-run of Visual C++ Express and noticed that their C++ implementation was a little odd. Then I got to asking around and found out that most people don't develop in C++ for this and other reasons.

So, what does everybody here that develops in Windows use? I've been suggested Basic and C#.

I'll be doing mostly simple programs and definitely no games. I have a lot of experience in programming so I'll probably be doing some network programming.

Thanks,
