One of the worst problems that I see when Microsoft actually does extend
APIs to improve/fix things is the proliferation of OS-dependent code.
If there is 1.) a workaround that works on all platforms of interest 2.) a
new spiffy function or bit to set in a later platform that eliminates the
workaround then WHO CARES about the spiffy net thing. For all practical
purposes the new thinggy is useless. More trouble then it’s worth…

Thos.
