What's the difference? All are Windows console and GUI compilers, just that
Visual Studio has a pretty interface and more tools (and maybe more up to
date headers and libraries, but that's not a major problem). Personally, I'd
much prefer a free GNU compiler that I have full access to the source and
the developers, and can report bugs easily.

Anyway, just my opinion. I think MS charges WAY to much for Visual Studio,
although I can get Visual C++ as a student for $195 Australian dollars,
which isn't too bad.

Cheers,
