Compiler that supports c++11 for Windows vista

I'm currently studying a book regarding C++, which is quite new. Therefore it also discusses C++11 in some parts. Having Windows Vista, I can't download the latest version of Visual Express, so I'll have to do with the 2010 version. This doesn't support C++11, so I'm currently wondering whether there exists a free alternative which does support C++11.

p.s. - Would you say it's essential/important for a beginner in programming to learn C++11 as well (instead of just the core basics)?

You could compile and use Clang on Windows Vista and integrate it to Visual Studio. They have an almost complete support for C++11 now (as of version 3.3).

You could consider using virtual machine with a Linux flavor. I had the same problem as you, I installed VirtualBox, then Ubuntu having the latest g++ compiler
