No, if you get yourself a good book about win32 programming, you could
do very well with gcc win32 or lcc win32. If you just want to learn
basic  win32 programming (not MFC) there is nothing that visual C++
offers you more  than what gcc win32 allready can. (Except for a
nice/big(?) IDE. I wrote my first windows programs with DJGPP &
RSXNTDJ :-)
