Microsoft Plans Windows API Cleanup | |
|

| Time: 08:15 EST/13:15 GMT | News Source: Internet Week | Posted By: Todd Richardson | ||

Thanks, Gary. Microsoft plans a major cleanup of the Win32 API set and XML application markup language (XAML) to make its next version of Windows, code-named Longhorn, as friendly for developers as it is for users.
First, the software giant aims to slash the number of API calls in the Win32 API set in order to help developers better exploit the next-generation Windows shell, user interface (code-named Aero) and .Net framework components in Longhorn, according to sources familiar with the Longhorn plans.
"Win32 has like 76,000 APIs, and they're taking it down to 8,000 with Longhorn technology," said one source familiar with the plans.
