I'm so completely not a Windows developer or a C++ developer, but seriously, the experience working with Visual Studio on Windows/C++ when I didn't really know what I was doing - but I had to do undocumented things (I needed to get Haskell to talk to some Windows apis, for which no bindings exist) - was incredible. Second to none. I'm half thinking about changing career direction it was so nice.
