Yes, Linux uses it, but it's used far more widely than that.

In addition to the options Matt pointed you to, there are two other 
major ways to use g++ on Windows: Cygwin and MinGW.  They'll be #1 on 
Google...not hard to find.

If you have a choice, I'd say you should prefer Cygwin.  The licensing 
issues shouldn't matter for your situation, and it's got a wider user 
base and more available software.
