OpenWatcom C++ is free, but you have to make a donation ($9.95 suggested).
But, it is only available as a "Watcom11.0c binary patch beta", but there
will eventually be a full release.

The Watcom C/C++ compiler was (and perhaps still is) a very highly
regarded compiler, and IIRC, it has good Win32 api support. The version i
worked with 5 years ago (10.0), had poor tools, but the compiler was
excellent.
