How can I develop my OS using the VC++ IDE?
My compiler is DJGPP, but I wanna use the IDE that comes with VC++ (to invoke the compiler and linker) so I won't ever have to mess with makefiles again. Is this possible? If so, how??

I doubt it. Microsoft isn't overly respectful of
you using their products with other non-microsoft
products... it's not their style.
Anyway, you should be able to figure out for
yourself... just check out the preferences and
project settings. See if there's an option for
the compiler envoked. It'll be tough, though,
seeing as though gcc and vcc doesn't share the
same compiler switches.
Debugging will also be impossible, as the two
compilers don't export the same debugging symbols.
Personally, I'd say you'd be better off trying to
find a DJGPP specific IDE. Check out "rhide", for
example. It's a nice one, like the ol' TC++
IDE, and it sports a front end to gdb.
