Looking for gcc Compiler for C++

My brother has recently bought me a book to learn C++, Sams Teach Yourself c++ in 24
hours.

The CD that comes with the book which is Borland C++, does not work with vista. The installation from the CD was taking a while and i decided to just stop the installation.

I want a compiler that is known to work for Vista 32 bit. I have looked around, there doesn't seem to be many for Vista itself.

Could you guys maybe suggest to me another option? Maybe have a dual boot of ubuntu to play with c++? If you guys know a compiler that works with vista please let me know, thanks.
 
Download Microsoft Visual Studio Express Edition for C++.

That's your best bet and will be closest to the general idea of how Borland C++ worked. There will be many differences though, since I think that is an old book. Still, gcc will be a much higher learning curve.
