For Win32 I suggest: www.winprog.org/tutorial

What compiler are those optimised for?

That tute is great. Highly recommended. You can use the code in that tutorial with pretty much any C/C++ compiler that supports win32 api (visual, mingw, digital mars etc)

.. As for opengl
Check out Fallout Software's Tutes. Nehe's tutorials are also OK but I wouldn't recommend them to a total newbie of opengl.

Also be sure to check out the Blue Book (reference) and Red Book (tutorial)

If you can shell out a bit of $$ I would highly recommend picking up a copy of the OpenGL Super Bible. Which basically rolls all of the mentioned opengl tutorials and the redbook into one.

Nehe's tutorials are very good OpenGL tutorials. And yes, the OpenGL SuperBible is very good for beginners.

None. You should be able to compile the examples on any compiler for Windows that supports the Win32 API library. Figuring out your IDE's settings or whatnot is a different case.
