You'll need to at least have the framework to build an app. Using Unsafe
code you can do a lot, call old .dll's (after all, isn't most of .NET just
an elegant OO wrapper of COM?) etc etc etc.

As an old C++ programmer, there's not a good reason to use VS.NET to write
old school stuff...and no, you can't write anything that won't run under the
framework.

Well, I'm pretty sure that you can use plain ole C++ and ATL or MFC if you
want to, I know I wrote a silly vanilla C app not long ago. You no longer
have access to VB6, but C++ is still completly capable of targeting the
system natively

You can use C++ to build native applications as long as you only use
unmanaged code. To run a C#, VB.Net or managed C++ application, you must
have the .Net Framework installed on the client machine.
