good c/c++ compiler for windows

Question

Does anyone know of a c/c++ compiler that is easily usable with windows? I have a bit of experience with gcc, but I would like to take a crack at developing some code like this on a windows machine. Many of the compilers I have seen look a bit complex, or are not for windows.

Thanks in advance.

Usually on windows the mentality is a bit different. Rather than worrying about a compiler, you worry about getting a good IDE that does all that for you.

As a result, Visual Studio is the best option.
