True. I've forgotten that IDA Pro was once freeware. The warning about root kits still stands tho (for all who might read this).
PixelEngineer,
Have you ever considered switching to Qt Creator as an IDE? This would give you a nice IDE on multiple platforms and relieve you of having to maintain a makefile for linux. qmake really is quite capable and Qt Creator can be used even without using Qt libs in your project.
You would still need a compiler on Windows, but you can always use the latest Platform SDK to keep in sync with the compiler technology. You can also install Visual Studio and just use Qt Creator although that would seem a bit overboard when all you need is the compiler (which is what I do, because I use both and I also need the assembler).
mingw is another option (Qt Creator can use this toolchain also).
Just tossing ideas out there.
