You could look at "Code::Blocks" or "DEV-CPP". This would allow you to
port your programs with limited effort to Windows 32bit console
programs which will run with Windows Vista, Windows 7 and maybe
upcoming Windows versions.

MinGW, Code::Blocks and DEV-CPP use gcc on Windows so depending how
many functions you use which are marked in the documentation as:

"Portability

ANSI/ISO C   No
POSIX	No"

you will have more of less porting effort.
