I'm not sure (since I don't use them), but other options on Windows may be
MKS, Interix, or MS-SFU. I'm not sure if they include a compiler or not;
and if not, whether a compiler is available for those Windows environments.
And finally, another 'nother option is Microsoft's Visual C++ 2008 Express
Edition:

Borland may have a free (or perhaps "free") C++ compiler as well.
I was surprised to find an ad for non-free software in GNU's gcc-help
mailing list. I honestly feel offended by your shameless promotion of
non-free software in this list.
Of course, in private, you are welcome to promote whatever you want but
in this list I find it a lack of respect towards free software
developers, specially those of us that are not being paid at all for
working on GCC.
Sincerely,

PS: How would Adobe or its employees react if on their own mailing lists
I were promoting alternatives to Acrobat:

or recommending blocking all flash content in the web:

I am sure Adobe wouldn't censor me but I could understand if they felt
slightly offended, specially if I were in Adobe's mailing list asking
for gratis help to the non-paid Adobe programmers to use for free their
open-source products. Oh, wait a moment....
