Scalable Windows Development Environments?

spirality asks: "I've been developing under *NIX since I started writing software about ten years ago, and my company has been developing its product under *NIX since its inception. Until recently that is. We just completed the first Windows version of our product. Under Unix we used CVS with a custom build environment that we developed in house, and it simply can not be ported to Windows. What are Slashdot users, who must develop under Windows, using for a development environment?" "Though it does work under Cygwin, (this is how we got our port in place), it's simply not viable, as a simple compile/link cycle can sometimes take over an hour. We've begun to use Visual Studio, but have found that it lacks in many respects, especially when it comes to syncing project files among our developers. Obviously people are developing LOTS of Windows applications, and I can't imagine that everyone has a crippled development environment. What kinds of tools are used for source code revision, and especially what mode is Visual C++ used in? Given our dependence on third party libraries there is no way that we can avoid Visual C++, though use of the Microsoft IDE is not necessary. We have a team of about ten and are going to be adding more, so an environment that scales well is essential."
