Breaking win32?  I hope not, as would this not cause a problem on 
Windows NT, 2000, and XP too?!  I guess with Vista we will see that one 
has to support win32 and whatever the Vista API is called.

And yes, it is probably soon time to drop support for win98 and winME, 
especially as I think MS has basically already done so.
