Actually, Microsoft's $13,299 price tag is rather excessive (IMHO).
I mean, the whole GNU Toolchain (GCC, binutils, autotools, etc.) is *free* and
is used as a 'serious development package for professional products'. Cygwin
appears to have a 64-bit incarnation and is a free download (this suggests
that there should be a 64-bit version of mingw as well, which should allow
cross-building 64-bit MS-Windows applications on a (64-bit) Linux system).
