I think Auburn University developed a compiler called pcGRASP for c++.  Not
sure how well it works with OO stuff, but I imagine that it should be fine
since it is a c++ compiler and all.  It requires cygwin to work, but it is
free.

In the nicest possible way, I don't agree with either of your points. 
There are plenty of excellent free IDE's, and there are some game 
developers out there actually don't use MS products! Besides, since this 
guy's new to programming, there's no reason why he has to jump straight 
in at the deep end and produce a professional product straight away, or 
spend a penny doing it.
