GCC does not support most of Microsoft's non-standard C & C++ extensions. GCC also is not C++ ABI compatable with Visual C++. This means that GCC can't be used to compile programs based on ATL or MFC, which many Windows programers prefer to use over the base C APIs. I suspect that GCC does not yet support compiling for Microsoft's .net environment.
