Use Bloodshed Dev-C++. It's really easy to use.

Check out that thread. It should get you started.

Cygwin is a really good compiler

Well both Cygwin and Dev-C++ use the same compiler collection, so either works.

MingW is a alternitave for GCC(MingW is Win Only) , same goes for Cygwin, i am a MingW compiler user(+MSYS), Dev C++ has MingW and Cygwin support, but Dev C++ is a *IDE* so no compiler:P

I would definitely recommend Dev-C++

VS is like a 20-stone glammed-up hooker.
Slowwww and ugly.

A friend of mine who works at EA uses Code::Blocks. But I have always used Dev-C++

I'd say, try Dev-C++, if you don't like it, move onto something like C::B.

Have you used VS 2008? or even 2005? The interface is quite nice and intuitive if you ask me, and I've never had any trouble with speed using it on my machine.

Borland's C++ Builder and Dev-C++ are also good choices, I'd just start using one and get used to it.
