I use win 7 + Visual C++ 2010 express. Very easy to use and does the job, plus, Visual C++ 2010 express is free.
In linux, I guess you can try Netbeans, which can be used as both Java and C++ IDE. Netbeans has similar debugging facility as Visual C++ 2010 express. You can press F4 to run to cursor, F8 to step over a function, and F7 to step into a function. I heard that Geany is a good IDE, too. Lightweight and you don't need to create a project to build and run a single .cpp file.
