Plenty of us do. But we talk about Windows-specific stuff on Windows-
specific newsgroup.
This is a newsgroup about standard C. There are other newsgroups for
implementation-specific extensions. The fact that we don't discuss
those extensions here is because of the same reason you don't discuss
motorcycle maintenance with your bank manager. Different topics!
But we don't have anything *against* implementation-specific extensions.
We are not saying they shouldn't be used, or that Windows should not be
used for compiling C. It's just irrelevant to comp.lang.c.
