Nobody's mentioned eclipse (http://www.eclipse.org/)

I'm a personal fan of java, and if you know java you Must know eclipse
(not just for java)
Not only is java cross-platform (from java-on-the-metal, to mobile &
desktop, to Corporate super servers running on various OS's) but is
also now fully opensource.

Eclipse is an "open development platform" (aka IDE on par with "MS
Visual Studio.NET"), with plugins to develop anything: eg. mobile
apps, wysiwig GUI's, web-services (SOAP) and Enterprise-level stuff as
well as strong support tools for other languages (inlcuding code
completion, debuggers, etc.), e.g.
- - C/C++ (CDT - http://www.eclipse.org/cdt/)
- - Python (PyDev -
http://www.eclipseplugincentral.com/Web_Links-index-req-viewlink-cid-235.html)
- - Web 2.0 (.jsp/ servlets/ ajax - http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/)
- - Ruby
 
(http://www.eclipseplugincentral.com/Web_Links-index-req-viewlink-cid-188.html

- - EasyEclipse for C and C++ -

Eclipse itself is written in java, so also runs in windows...
