I've always used the Microsoft compiler on Windows.  As much as people like
to malign Microsoft their compiler is very solid.  I used to get the
subscription, meaning I'd automatically get updates for a flat yearly fee.
They stopped doing that in the late 1990s, and I've been using that last
version ever since.  If I remember right, that is version 6.0.  (Cancelling
the subscription was a dumb move.  Maybe there wasn't really much changing
from one version to the next, but most people wouldn't know nor care.  It
was easy to just buy the subscription and be done with it, at a tiny
fraction of the cost of a engineer.  It was also a single approval, whereas
buying upgrades individually requires separate approvals, justification why
you really need it, etc.  Duh.)

I hear they now give some sort of compiler away for free, but that may be
just for .net stuff.  Dig around on the Microsoft site.
