Actually, you could install the C++11 toolchain on Windows and use that instead of Wind River. I've found it to be very stable and my team has been using it all Winter. You can get the installer at
http://firstforge.wpi.edu/sf/projects/c--11_toochain under File Releases and the Wiki pages have instructions on using CMake. The toolchain runs from the Command Prompt so you'll still need something like Eclipse to view and edit your code. Eclipse integration with the toolchain is still in the works for Windows.
