Practically, Win32 has been deprecated for new work. Hmm yeah, from what I hear win32 is still being used behind-the-scenes for WinRT, which probably means it won't go away any time soon. I think the "start menu" backslash and subsequent reintroduction shows MS can't really break features without paying a price. I mean, imagine if win32-based apps didn't work in e.g. Win9, I think that would make it a dead-on-arrival OS. Well, I reserve my doubts about WinRT, but if someone wants to work on it, go ahead. -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------
