this is probably a n00b question, but even so…
Apart from MS Office, I have not used the Win OS for anything other than playing games.
I think maybe with Win 7 it’s time to get up to speed with .net and whatever other windows-focussed libs will probably be useful to know.
Until 4 years ago, I had worked primarily in mainframe environments. Since then I have worked primarily with Java, Python and C++, in the last couple of years more-or-less exclusively developing in Eclipse.
With the release of Win 7, I have changed my opinion on the future worth of development skills on the MS platform.
So finally to the question :
Apart from Eclipse, which other IDEs are well worth using on the Win7 platform ? Which IDEs best fit the Win 7 environment ?
Visual Studio 2008/2010 and the .NET Framework
