Comment on Windows 1.0 and the WinAPI, 40 Years Laterparent

Yes, that was removed with the 64-bit versions of Windows. My understanding is because they were using a compatibility layer to run 16-bit apps, and with 64-bit Windows they changed that compatibility layer to run 32-bit apps. But I'm not a Windows internals expert so I could be mistaken.
