I certainly didn't mean to imply that it was the same as the VS one, just that it exposed the same API (as far as I am aware). My understanding is that if a documented Windows API is exposed in the VS (or SDK) header but not in the mingw one, that would be accepted as a bug in the win32api package. But if an application relies on features of the MS windows.h which are not documented (and hence are "implementation details") that should be considered as an application bug (or at least, as a portability issue). Anyway, I'm not saying anything new here, so I won't waste people's time continuing this thread any further.
