IMO Win32 has been abandoned by MS, in favor of .NET.



Given that .NET runs on top of Win32 ... that seems unlikely.

Having said that, it does seem that .NET is pushed as the "fix all"
solution for "joe bloggs business programmer", and those who need to
write business apps without being too concerned about technicalities
such as memory management, synchronization, anything about how win32
works.

A sort of "simplified OS model with a clean library, because doing it
all manually is just too hard." - Not unlike the rationale behind
Delphi.
