But jey, ReactOS is still on alpha, there target is to become compatible with current implementations of windows, so all your windows software will ran on it, as drivers, games. Thats a big diffrence from linux and other operating systems. Maybe there will pass like 4 more years to see a windows xp 100% compatible OS, but if more developers join them, they will do it in less time!

Phantoms:
Thanks for the replies. I'm sticking with CB with MinGW for the moment. I have not uninstalled VC2005 or the Platform SDK as I may have a need (or want) for it in the future. CB fits my needs currently, and that is to learn C++.

That is why I said "a (more or less) usable version". The Express version is not usable (for anything serious). Obviously, this is not intended either, since nobody would buy the full version otherwise.

For me the main reason is multiple compiler support. I compile most of my projects with mingw, msvc7.1 and msvc8. I get better warnings and my code is more portable.

Wow !, So I guest Burger Rush is not serious software. It depends on the person NOT the IDE, MSVC Express + PSDK is enough to make a win32 app, throw wxWidgets to that you got easier GUI programming, throw DirectX SDK (or SDL, or OpenGL, or Allegro), you can make a game. So please define what serious is ????
