isn't VC++ 2003 a command line compiler?
i'd say Dev-cpp but then again ive never tried anything else out
If you're looking for an alternative IDE to Dev-C++ that is also free you could take a look at Code::Blocks. I havent tried it out myself (only fiddled with it, no real use) and despite its unfortunate name (think writers' block), I've heard that it is pretty good.
Dev-C++ uses the MinGW port of GCC by default, and Code::Blocks can use that as well as Microsoft's compiler(s).

Hi,
Yes, Code::Blocks is cool!
For Windows C++ development, you can also use this combination of FREE tools:
Visual C++ 2003 Toolkit
Platform SDK
Code::Blocks IDE

is microsoft visual c++ free?, cause i been meanting to try that one out
If a mime dies in the woods and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?
The command line version is free.
See extract from http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/vctoolkit2003/
The Visual C++ Toolkit is a free edition of Microsoft's professional Visual C++ optimizing compiler and standard libraries--the same optimizing compiler and standard libraries that ship in Visual Studio .NET 2003 Professional!
If you want to build Win32 GUI programs, you will also need to download the Platform SDK to get the Windows include files and libraries.
