It depends upon what you want to do with it. If you want to use Visual C++ .NET, I recommend the Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition. That way, you can use Windows Forms, and I think MFC is still there though I'm not sure. If you just want to mess with C++, Dev-C++ is alright. It uses the MinGW port of gcc-3.4.2, I believe. (MinGW32 is a project to port certain applications from Linux to Windows, though it is mainly just GCC right now. MinGW64 is being worked on too, I think).
