MS also alluded to a free downloadable compiler, but I haven't tracked it down yet. And of course theer's always mingw (or whatever it's called).

If there is a way I can provide Windows binaries, and I can do some interactive debugging, I'm willing to switch tools, sure.

I doubt the free compiler provides any interactive debugging support. So you either have to continue to use VC6, or switch to VC.NET, or switch to Borland C, or use gdb (on cygwin).
