Looking for a recommendation

Hello guys. I'm learning C++ in school, and I love it. I tend to be a linux guy, so that makes it even better. But here's what I"m looking for: I want to create a Win32 GUI program that's coded similarily to how QT is used on linux (c++ program with a graphical toolkit). What should I be researching to learn about this on windows? (and any recommendations on reading material?). For now at least, i'm really only interested in a relatively simple interface - so I don't need anything too fancy.
Thanks

QT is available for win32
I've been reading more on this (namely the whitepaper), and there's one thing I'm still not completely understanding. It looks like you can write code that's platform independent, but once the binary is created (say for windows) does anything else need to be installed for the binary to run? AKA I want to be able to compile an executable and be able to go to any Windows machine and run it (well, NT 5 and up).

I'm looking for something that preferably doesn't require any extra installing, or if it does, something that's not a huge install (for example using GTK for gaim on windows, is only about 6 MBs - but i'd rather not have to deal with an extra install if possible).
 
I know of QT, but have never used it. I know you don't want to do more installing and what not, but there's also MinGW:
