Here it says I can download VC++. Is it completely free to download?
Yes, but there might be some limitations such that you might not be
allowed to download it if your are a terrorist.
There are two downloads One in green other in yellow which one should
I download.
The yellow. The green is Visual C#, which is something else.
Will I be able to create Applications with the free version?
Yes.
Will the program made with free version run on all Computers?
Windows 98/ XP/ Vista/ Mac OS Will all of them be able to run the
Program?
No, only on computers running Windows (might not work on Windows 98 or
earlier). Of course, if you keep your code portable (by not using any
platform specific stuff) you can always recompile your code on whatever
other platforms you want to run it on.
What is the size of download. Is the free version Stable and error
free?
About as stable and error free as you might expect of software of this
size and complexity.
How many days will it take for me to leanrn VC++? Is it a simple
language?
Very long, but with a good book your should be up and writing small
applications in a matter of days (depending on how much time and effort
you put into it).
What is the Cost of Buying Visual C++. Is it totally free?
There are several versions of Visual C++ (or rather Visual Studio), the
Express edition that you are looking at downloading is totally free, the
other versions costs a lot of money and you should not consider buying
any of them at the moment.
