That's a Win32 API call added for Windows 8.1 to their 1988 API!!!
As for bugs, you've never read "The Old New Thing" blog or played with the compatibility options for running executables in windows? http://blogs.msdn.com/b/oldnewthing/
They actually go as far as fixing all the bugs and backporting the actual bugs to older compatibility layers so software that relies on the bugs still functions properly when you set the compatibility OS version.
Regarding impossibility, there is literally nothing that I can't do with their APIs. Find something and I will show you.
Win32 is the only API that can be used in the long run and is maintained and improved by MS.
All the other APIs like WinForms, WPF, MFC, Silverlight, WinRT get abandoned after a few years. Yes, they still run but you end up with a codebase that uses outdated tools without a good migration path to a never API.
It would be really nice if they would actually stick to something.
Whats this then?
