Finding a C++ compiler

I can't find a compiler online that won't cost me an arm & leg.

Get Visual C++ Express 2010 - pretty much the best all-round compiler you can get (it's an IDE though)

I personally prefer Code::Blocks + gcc/g++

gcc > VC++, in my opinion.

VC++2008/2010 express is free if registered :)
g++ is the best

Depends on your definition of "best".

dev c++ is free

I prefer Dev/wxDev because of the huge support with DevPacks. You can practically find anything... Just write what you want, add the word "devpack" and google it...

Dev C++ ( without wx- ) is bad and outdated. wxDev C++ is better

Thanks for all the inputs.
I downloaded VC++2010 & discovered the 2+ GB loaded down my hard drive. Found out VC++2008 & 2005
does not work on Windows Vista. Seems as I don't have enough computer & the wrong operating system.
So much for learning C++ on the cheap.

I'm pretty sure 2008 does work on Vista.
As for hardware requirements, a computer that can run Vista but not VC++ is a very specific configuration.
If it comes to that, you can always just grab MinGW which will run no matter what.

You could try a Linux VM with VMware Player or some other virtualization software, Cygwin, or MinGW to write C++ on a Windows machine--all of these options are free.
