Microsoft Windows makes games programming sucks. Why?

Remember the good old days where we have plenty of spaces
and freedom and without boundaries, code all you want.
Take QB as an example.
You used PUT and GET to do animations...(I dont use that, instead
ASM to do it

Take DX or VB as an lousy example...
How many things you gotta initialize just to display a simple pic?
At least for me, it took me for a while to understand that bitblt
and stretchbit is somethin like QB's PUT and GET!

And DX makes life easier for the gamers but worse to the
programmers! Just because it groups up all kinds of video cards
and you can code easily, and that's not what I meant!

in DX, you gotta dim DX, DX's components, then the DX device,
the DX surface, the DX buffer, the DX events, the DX functions, the
DX variables, the DX constants, the DX #$%@&*...

Uhh!!! I felt better now! After spitting all the things the drive my mind crazy...
