I can't comment on any EmacsW32 documentation, because I've never

feeling it would compromise my current set-up, which has evolved over
about 20 years to work consistently, regardless of OS, window-system
(or not), emacs flavour or version (including version 18, which can
still be found in the wild!) The very last thing I want is something
that makes "the keyboard and other things in Emacs function more like
they do usually in MS Windows programs" whatever that means - to
search, do you press C-f (Word), F3 (regedit) or S-C-f (Outlook)?]
Thanks for pointing this possible misconception out. EmacsW32 does not
alter any key-binding without asking. And it is very easy to revert them
(using Customize or a special page for just this).
There is a bit more to choose at installation of EmacsW32, for example
"windows integration". This will create windows shortcuts to start Emacs
and/or edit files. It will also add gnuserv startup (in site-lisp.el).
Is this EmacsW32 specific documentation, or part of the main emacs
manual? If the latter, I'll make a note to check it out next time
I upgrade.
What Eli edited could not be EmacW32 specific documentation since
EmacsW32 is not a part of Emacs but rather a couple of other things: an
add-on, installer, slightly patched Emacs if you want that etc.
Maybe I could have found a less confusing name but it is quite hard to
find good descriptive short names.
