Best free C compiler for windows? God, I wish I had Linux - vincentbelkin - Mar 15, 2012

So anyone have any suggestions on what compiler i should use? C not C++ but it's better if it can compile both?

Microsoft Visual C++ (use the /Tc flag), GCC.

What operating system do you have? GCC works on Windows, and if you have a Mac, GCC comes preinstalled.
