The IDE requires the .net framework, the compiler (afaik) doesn't. You can
strip out compiler+tools from vc2005 express and headers + libraries from
the platformsdk, then you've got a native build environment that doesn't
take up much space nor relies on .net.

You *do* need to download quite an amount of megabytes before you can do
this, though :)
