What are your specific requirements....

Is it a requirement that the 'home' compiler/ide be able to compile MS VC6
programs? If not, then there are several free C/C++ compilers/ides(one being
Bloodshed's Dev-CPP) that you can use.  IF you require that the home compiler
be able to compile VC6 applications, then you may be restricted to MS's
software. MS DOES offer their compiler for download -- but you don't get the
IDE.... i believe it should compile any IDE generated code...
http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/vctoolkit2003/

an alternative is
http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/
#develop (short for SharpDevelop) is a free IDE for C# and VB.NET
projects on Microsoft's .NET platform. It is open-source (GPL), and you can
download both sourcecode and executables from this site. In addition, you can
find the latest information and changes on #develop, as well as get in touch
with the team in the forum.

Bloodshed's IDE uses the MINGW compiler and can utilize several GUI toolkits
for windows.

CYGWIN www.cygwin.com can provide what mimics a *nix system on windows(if you
download cygwin, be sure to select rxvt as a download item, it is a much better
interface than using the default bash shell in a MS cmd.exe window).  Bloodshed
can be configured to utilize CYGWIN as it's build environment.

BORLAND is offering for download CBUILDERX www.borland.com as well as command
line compiler ala the MS offering above.

If none of the above meet your needs, post your specific requirements... there
are other compilers/ides available.
