Its possibly true but I don't have the money for VS. I'm doing this as an
hobby.
However I have used VS6 and don't miss it.

Visual C++ is the way to go. Some consider it confusing, but without
reading anything about it, I hopped on to Visual Studio C++ 6.0 and
within 20 minutes had customized the editor to my likings and was
writing C+ applications. And there really is no pure C++ or C. It must
have an operating system to run off of. You are still working with
MS_DOS, so Microsoft compilers are the way to go. The latest version
is .NET. It is like Visual Studio 7.1. I am in the middle of a
computer upgrade, but afterwards, I plan to purchase Visual
Studio .NET. Or at least the Visual BASIC and C++ portions of it.
