You get a C runtime library in the form of MSVCRT.DLL. If you need an actual compiler, there are half a dozen free ones that can be downloaded. (But some of us can make use of the C library, and much of the Win32 API, without a C compiler if necessary. Perhaps you need to be more of a real programmer to use Windows than Linux...) Windows does give you a GUI out-of-the-box. -- Bartc
