I still tell myself if I going to vibecode a windows app, it will be native and suport 2000 and be a completely static linked executive. Petzold style programming may require memory unsafe legacy languages, but boy does the resulting small fast program with accelerafor keys and native themeable controls make me comfortable.

Im still bummed the web won the UI wars.
The UI fits right in, in a good way!
I wonder how much more effort it would take to get working on Win9x (the first of the Win32 API).
The first OS supporting Win32 API isn't Windows 95.
Win32s for Windows 3.1x: 1993
Windows NT 3.1: 1993
Windows NT 3.5: 1994
Windows NT 3.51: 1995 (may)
Windows 95: 1995 (july)
