    Er...WindowsX?

    Never heard of that one! Enlightenment, anyone?

    Oh - X Windows?

    It's not that similar to Win32, because X is a client/server system, as in: you can have an X server running windowing sessions on a powerful server box, with X clients using them (possibly more than one each) on a separate computer. This means that there's a lot in there that is completely different to Win32.

    Sorry . (Although some of the functions may be recognisable in a slightly different form)
