What are the recommended free C++ for Windows 2000?

I have VS .NET 2002 and 2003 C++.

Do I need some variant of GCC to work on some of the Gnu projects?
What about MinGW/gcc?

Visual C++ Express 2005 is the latest free Microsoft Visual C++
development tool.

MinGW is often the easiest compiler for porting *nix code to Windows. In
my experience however MSVC++ produces more optimized executables (both
speed and size).

Perhaps, but I may decide to participate in the development of the Windows
port of GnuCash. For this I might have to use a derivative of GCC to work
with others,

In such cases MinGW is definitely the compiler I would recommend.
