    The Windows Platform SDK is a collection of header files, import libraries and some other files that are needed to use the windows API in your programs. The SDK also includes the documentation of these files. Every platform has it's own SDK, and every application that has some kind of extension programming (like Macromedia Director or every 1st person shooter with mods) also exposes an SDK. SDKs are nearly always free since companies want people to program for their products.

    The Windows SDK is included in the installations of most or all windows compilers, that's why you can build windows applications with VC++ and BC++B
