The Windows 95 APIs are still there, but you are typically supposed to use a newer API if you're writing code for XP. Same for GTK+, GTK+ 1.2 is still there, GtkCList is still there, it's just that using newer APIs is recommended. GTK+ in fact has an essentially identical API evolution policy to Windows; Windows replaces its APIs all the time, most recently all the .NET APIs replace the last generation of C/C++ APIs.
