Question: Can you elaborate on your statement: "My Windows programming until maybe 2002 was pretty awful. Now it's just a little awful".

    Yeah, the Windows code I wrote back in the day was ugly and often broken or wrong. Code I write now probably is too, to a lesser extent. Example: recently it came to my attention that DM_GETDEFID was the same as WM_USER; so if you use WM_USER for some purpose on a dialog, you might get surprises).

    Having said that, Win32 is pretty forgiving, too, allowing for broken software to run (mostly) successfully.
