    In what context do you need to use these constructs? In user space, or kernel?

    This is called "vendor lock-in". Writing software to Windows API's really does lock you in to Windows systems. Writing to POSIX API's on the other hand are much more portable, including from Linux to Windows and vice-versa. Good luck! FWIW, I have a LOT of experience developing platform neutral software of the most complex type, including GUI front ends. For those I utilize platform-neutral tool kits like Qt or Wx. Qt is quite excellent, and I have used it very productively for such purposes.
