Thread: Question: What version of C standard is implemented in modern Linux and Windows XP

C-99 is the current standard for C programming. Supposedly it's the same core language and libraries on all systems.

Of course the GUI specific stuff --Windows API for example-- is going to be widely divergent between OSs.

Windows and Linux manage some compatibility through Wine, a Windows emulator for Linux. Mac has it's own Windows emulator as well...

Those drafts are the underlying guidance behind almost all newer compilers. If you found the papers, you've found the standard.

Ummm...though C99 is the current standard, most compilers are not fully C99 compliant. Most all are C89 or "ANSI C" compliant.
