I use VC++ Express 2010 and it has a C compiler, so why wouldn't the paid VS have one?

gcc is much better than MS VC++. Better optimization, in size and speed, also it's crossplatform.

Try dev c++

Don't, Dev-C++ is a very old IDE. Don't use it.

In visual studio, click tools, visual studio command prompt, in the command prompt type in

cl -EHsc filename.cpp and hit enter. That will create filename.exe which is executable.

I use wxDev-C++ which is still Dev-C++ but just an extension of it (personally I don't really like MS VC++)

You can use CodeBlocks with gcc. Its free. If you don't mind the resulting pigsty, you can use QT Designer with gcc. It is also free. It is intended for QT projects only, but you can coerce it for other types of development, especially for personal training. Since you don't come from the *nix side of things, QT Designer would probably be the friendliest freely available IDE out there.

The gcc port CodeBlocks uses is called MinGW, you can also use it directly or with an IDE other than CodeBlocks (but there's nothing wrong with codeblocks)

They are C and C++ compilers. Pass in a a file with a .c extension and they'll behave as C compilers.

In addition to the compilers mentioned, there's also Watcom (which is current) and Borland (which is old).
