I use Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 Standard Edition. It has the best IDE i've seen in a compiler, and it works with just about everything. Its not free though, but you can get it pretty cheap (I found it for $50, although usually its about$100). The Proffesional Edition optimizes your code, but it costs a lot more ($200-$400).

One warning: Visual C++ only makes windows code, you can't make any DOS programs with it.

Also, the whole "visual" part is just a name, so don't let that confuse you -- Its just a C++ compiler.

If you're going to write Windows programs (I do, especially Windows games, and can afford MSVC++ (Microsoft Visual C++), you should *definitely* get it.

DirectX supports VC++ fully, and I think it comes with Borland compatible libs too, but I see a lot of gossip going around that getting DX to work on Borland takes a little messing around.

Also, Professional version is good to get since there are optimizations that got my last library a good 5 frame rates up. It however doesn't *really* make a difference, but again, that 5 fps was just what I needed to say "its good!"
