Some of basic informations, from http://www.gnupg.org/ site:
GnuPG is the GNU project‘s complete and free implementation of the OpenPGP standard as defined by
RFC4880. GnuPG allows to encrypt and sign your data and communication, features a versatile key managment system as well as access modules for all kind of public key directories.

Project Gpg4win provides a Windows version of GnuPG. It is nicely integrated into an installer and features several frontends as well as (German) manuals.
Project Aegypten developed the S/MIME functionality in GnuPG 2.
