if you call a DLL and give it a callback and your callback throws then
the cleanup code in the DLL won't be run (and vice versa of course).
SEH would allow this to work.
If someone writes a compiler/language that allows programs to be ported with no
problems from Windows to other nonwindows systems, this may damage Windows a
little (but isn't Mono able to do this with C#2 programs?).
But it's economically advantageous for Microsoft to make it easy for people to
create new compilers and languages for Windows that work well with other
Windows programs. So in my opinion having a good Clang++ on Windows is good for
the economic well-being of Windows. They can grant LLVM a free licence to use
Windows-style exceptions.

Why should Microsoft do that instead of promoting Visual C++? ;)
