When you're talking about what you need to build generic programs which just work (as opposed to the development tools required to build them or anything really fancy), Microsoft tends to make that stuff freely distributable. Of course, once you're using their system you're under repeated low-grade pressure to buy more stuff, but the first hits are free. -- Raul
