Yes. There are several options of varying levels of complexity. Your simplest option is to load a sound driver like BassMIDI or Coolsoft and fill it with cool sounds you download from the web. Your level of involvement can vary from loading a GS sound font bank and leaving it alone to downloading every sound you can get your hands on and building a multi-bank sound font layout in Viena (note that's not a typo) to create a map of sounds. Note that this will also require building an instrument definition file too, but Viena outputs patch lists so it's not as difficult as it could be. This is the only option that will let you share your .mid files as long as you keep to GS sounds, as the GS sound list is common to all modern machines. (As you've already found out with the laggy Microsoft wavetable) Your next level of engagement involves downloading a good freeware synth, preferably a sample playback/"ROMpler" program and setting up a virtual MIDI cable to connect things together. It'll show up in QWS as a MIDI port, and it's helpful to rename that port in QWS so it tells you where that particular port is going. Again, unless you're dealing with a well-known synth, like Proteus VX, you'll need to create a definition file. Another option is to use a virtual MIDI cable to connect to VSTHost or another VST manager. This is flexible, as it allows you to set individual VST Sound sources on each channel. It takes more work, and again it'll require you to create a definition file if you want the program names to show up in your list.

Are there any ways I can get better midi sounds besides the crappy Microsoft GS Wavetable synth? My keyboard does not have any built-in sounds.
