The reason you don't get a .EXE file when you compile it this:
when you compile the program, it first compiles it to a .O file, then
/links/ the .o file to make an .EXE.
So you want to "Make" instead of "Compile", making will compiler, link, and
all that stuff, leaving you with a .EXE.

This is used for... well, I'm not sure exactly how object files are used,
but I know when you make large programs using makefiles, you get a bunch of
them.
