    People do still use the Win32 API, but you are right about C# (ugly, ugly, UGLY). However, I like the seemingly lower level view that Win32 gives you. To me it seems that when one has a Win32 backround, one is better educated about how Windws works. But hey, that's just my two cents.

    Since I already dropped the $$$ for Petzold I plan to work through it, but I'll definitely check out wxWidgets - if they based Audacity on it then it must be the shizznit.

    Thanks guys, guess I'll - GULP - venture into Windows.
    Huh?

    Also look at the links on top of the Windows board, particulary theforgers tutorial. Remember that MSDN is your most valuable resource.
