This page presents an overview of the various Windows platforms and the status of the CBS for them.

The platforms are "canonical": we assume typical or often encountered installations. For "bare Windows" this means Windows XP, MicroSoft Visual C/C++ (version 6.0, 2003 or 2005, but currently with an emphasis on version 6.0). For Cygwin and MinGW this is the suite of GCC compilers.
