The platform's difference WIN32 application programming interface defines your useful Windows platform useful as a programmer. The purpose of WIN32 Application Programming interface is to provide a common interface setting, but virtual, different platforms are different due to different characteristics and hardware constraints, and their application programming interfaces are different. Some members of the Win32 platform family support all Win32 application programming interfaces, while others only support a part of the API.
