Is programming windows 98 the same as programming windows 2000
In general, no.. there is little difference. There are some differences,
mainly in the capabilities of functions you already know. GDI components
have larger parameter boundaries than in 98, etc...
There are also some new API's for security and such. Unless you're writing
device drivers, chances are you won't even notice much difference.
