The Windows SDK comes free of charge, and if you need a good alternate IDE, you can install SharpDevelop (which is Open Source and entirely written in C#). By the way, this installation is also a bit quicker than setting up the Visual Studio beast.
Or you just install Mono and SharpDevelop - that's the quickest way to C# development on Windows.
Given the choice between C, C++ and C#... I'd choose Python. ;-)
