Thank you Jerome and all the people that have answered me, I was
ignorant about GNU license.
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++? ;)
Because they're giving away Visual C++ for free anyway?
Only to the people they wouldn't get money out of anyway. Anyone who /could/
matter a gnat's fart in a hurricane to MS's bottom line will want more than
the free offering gives.
