The link I gave you is to the Visual Studio express edition which is 100% free. It's exactly the same as the paid version, except it doesn't have a few of the advanced features like MFC or code profiling... I use VC++ 2005 express at home (although 2008 is out now too), and I use the paid versions at work.

OH!!!!

Haha!!! I didn't notice that was a link, I thought you just colored it red for emphasis



Those "advanced features", those are probably all things I'll never use right? If so, I'll start downloading now! Haha

I almost never need to use them.

Thanks. Downloading the Visual C++ one now. I'm assuming that works for C as well, yes?

Should be done fairly soon, all 422 MB of it!

Yes, in the Project Settings there is an option (I think it's called "Compile As") where you can select either C++ or C.
