Windows

Visual C++ 2005 Express
A very cost effective Microsoft development environment. If you can find Visual Studio 6.0 you should use it instead since I haven't figured out how to avoid linking .Net stuff for distribution.

Microsoft Platform SDK
Windows Server 2003 platform sdk (for 2000 and XP also). Contains OpenGL and Win32 library stuff that is necessary for OpenGL programming.

Notepad++
A great programmers editor. Even has some support for auto-completion. Please let me know of other alternatives to Visual Studio that you use.
