If you can buy it at academic price is not that expensive, MS professional
edition is ~90 dollars here in US. BTW, I would try to use always more than
one compiler. That helps because the diagnostics can complement each other and
helps to detects bugs in the compilers. I found one in djgpp and also in MS.
Particularly, when you use optimizations.
