Any suggestion for a windows Fortran compiler? I've seen many around but it is somewhat difficult to choose when you don't know much about the subject!

If you have any suggestion for Linux feel free to add them anyway!

I purchased the Microsoft Fortran compiler back in about 1997. I was in graduate school, so I received the student discount. It worked great.
 
Well, if you're talking about an interactive development environment. I can't really recommend one to you.

However, as for a compiler, Vim works great on Linux.
