Re: [Dev-C++] Some Longhorn programming info

[Per W. <pw...@ia...>]

Unless Microsoft will invalidate ALL existing windows applications -
that's the applications that makes us stay with Windows, instead of using
Linux, OS-X etc - they obviously must continue to support the Win32 API,
in the same way that current Win32 platworms kept the support for old
Win16 applications.

Since I'm such a M$ lover, my hope is of course that they are stupid
enough to remove Win32 support and let Linux rule :-)
