Vista and GNU compilers

Not Linux, but some of us are working with cross-platform
apps.

Apparently, Vista will not run apps compiled with GCC which
use more
than 32MB of data.  Yikes!

Keith,

   From the little I've read, it may be that your version of
Vista has been
deliberately throttled. But, you can probably buy an upgrade
that will allow
your hardware to work at its full capacity.

"....Executable images created for the DOS/Wintel
environment, using
the GNU GCC compilers and language standards (but not
linking to the
Win32 API), are subject to failure ...."

How useful is a windows-hosted program that doesn't link to
the Win32
API? (This is a serious question... I've only done windows
programming
with VM languages like java and c#, so I really don't know.)
 It seems
like some aspect of the Win32 API would be needed for just
about any
I/O.
