You should probably check out the cost of Microsoft's development tools.
They aren't free, ranging in cost from 199 - to over $2500.

If you want free tools go the linux route and use Sourceforge. Of course
don't be expecting to make any money with your resulting products.

Mac and Windows developers will pay for the developer tools because they
expect to make money off of the resultant product. Development is not a
hobby.
