MinGW comes with a gdb.exe, but if you're going to concede the point of needing a Windows install, then why not use an entire toolchain that's designed for that platform?

I'm not dissing gcc or GNU/Linux, but as an application developer, I do prefer pragmatism over ideology.

And as far as IDE or debuggers go, Visual Studio is amongst the best.

I'm not a huge fan of VS, but I do like wxDev-CPP, it works great for me
