Well, kind of. In file winasm.inc, you'll find:

; option nokeyword:<short>
option nokeyword:<this>
option nokeyword:<name> ;v2.04: added (NAME is a nop)

that is, "this" is changed to "undefined".

Why? Because the THIS operator is somewhat ancient, not really needed in Masm v6-syntax. You should virtually always be able to replace it by the LABEL directive.
