They now make a big deal about which applications are for Windows. My question is: will Microsoft or anyone be releasing a scaled-down SDK (maybe just including the libraries, the linker, and the windows.h include file) so that those hobbyist among us who want to fool around with writing code for our PCs because it's fun can write Windows apps. I certainly can't afford or justify the $300+ dollars for the SDK, just so I can play around with Windows. Jim Mann Stratus Computer jim_mann@es.stratus.com
