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.
