Hello again,

What about 64bit arhitecture? Will be there on Vista Win64 API? If so will the code be same?
Thanks in advance,
Jan

My memory's quite foggy, so take what I'm saying with a grain of salt. I think Microsoft had developed a whole new API/system of displaying windows, which was supposed to be really great for the developers. Then Microsoft ditched it.
Win32 API certainly isn't dead, and most programs will display properly (at least the GUI that's written with the WinAPI). I don't know much else, though.

What about DirectX 10? Will be based on Win32 API?
Or should I throw away all win32 tutorials and start with Vista api?
