Well, the Win32API is depricated. But it will be around for awhile yet.
Microsoft can't just get rid of it with Longhorn because that will break
Legacy apps.

But wxWindows is broken when the Win32 API goes away too, unless it is
completely rewritten on the Windows platform to use the WinFX API. All
wxWindows does is wrap native Win32 API functions in classes and such.
