# I saw a place in the software infobox for OS. Currently, I've placed Windows and OS/2 there as these were the only operating systems that were publicly claiming Windows compatibility. ReactOS, Wine, etc. strive for it, but do not have Microsoft's stamp of approval. OS/2 is debatable as it implemented the Windows API up to a certain version. ReactOS could possibly go there, if they explicitly claim to support the Windows API but I think they state something slightly different.

== Proposed cleanup ==
The overview section currently lists categories of functions in the API, but I have two concerns about that. 1) Does not seem a good purpose for wikipedia to cover all the technical details of an API. Let the Microsoft docs cover the technical details and let this article cover higher-level concepts -- mostly what's _not_ covered by Microsoft. 2) There's a note saying the list is out-of-date. What would one update to? the latest version? This article is about _all_ versions; not just the latest. Could list the categories for _each_ version, but that's too hard to do and to get right.
Suggestion: KISS -- remove the list of categories [[User:Stevebroshar|Stevebroshar]] ([[User talk:Stevebroshar|talk]]) 11:22, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
