Ermm...doesn't really matter how *you* define it, it's a specific set of C
functions (large set).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_API
for which .Net just calls through to (eventually) among other "wrappers" like
MFC.
I don't mind that you're trying to help out, but unless you've written an app
in all of these frameworks (or at least one), it's probably not a great thread
to reply on.
