Microsoft now makes a free version of Visual Studio available which is sufficient to compile Python extensions on Windows: http://www.microsoft.com/express/download/ I've only used it once, several months ago, but it seemed to work fine. I think issues people might have with this will be documentation issues. As far as Mac, I don't think C extensions are much of an issue (unless you include OS9). Obviously C extensions that aren't written in a portable way are going to be a problem, but that's *their* problem.
