Is there a compiler that has good support for the new C++0x?
I use GCC but unfortunately the current version 4.4 has a poor support for the new features.

Is there a compiler that has good support for the new C++0x?

The only compiler that has an implementation of concepts is conceptgcc (and even that is incomplete – but it is good enough to get a good feel for the feature).
Visual C++ 2010 Beta has some useful C++0x support – you can play with lambdas, rvalue references, auto, decltype.
Comeau C++ or the EDG based compilers are surprisingly not as advanced I would have expected them to be in their implementation of C++0x.
GCC 4.4 (variadic templates, initializer lists, inline namespaces, autor, decltype) probably has the most features implemented out of any of the other compilers, but is lagging in concepts and lambdas (separate branch development is ongoing).
