It says:

  "_WIN32 	A 32-bit platform. This value is also defined by the 64- 
bit compiler for backward compatibility."

Also, it's key to point out that the standard macro is NOT "WIN32",  
but rather "_WIN32". For whatever reason, the leading underscore is  
needed.  Some compilers define WIN32 also, but it's not guaranteed.   
_WIN32 is the one that is defined everywhere (MSVC, MinGW, Cygwin,  
Borland, ICC).
