best ide for windows?

need help on choice as i want to do C++ in windows with a ide that does gui ect and is free and just good to use
Visual Studio is probably the best for that, if you are a student you can most likely get it free from dreamspark.com

There is also visual studio express i think...
Visual C++ 2010 Express Edition is free and includes intellisense, debugging, etc. I believe the pro version allows you to do Windows-only programming more easily.
