Trying to determine IDE tools for windows C++ development

All,

We are trying to figure out what environment to use for windows application development. I would really appreciate your option on the matter.

Thanks,
Grim

VS 08 / VS 10

IMO

Most 3rdparty project provide VS2010 built libs, so I'd say VS2010. Also, VS2010 doesn't use that complicated, unncessary and annoying Side by Side stuff.
