Windows

Does windows have any decent sampling (eg. non-instrumenting) profilers available? Preferably something akin to Shark on MacOS, although i am willing to accept that i am going to have to pay for such a profiler on windows.

I've tried the profiler in VS Team Suite and was not overly impressed, and was wondering if there were any other good ones.

[Edit: Erk, i forgot to say this is for C/C++, rather than .NET -- sorry for any confusion]
