I'm not sure the windows API will be that much easier.  What I think 
will be easier is taking advantage of non-Euphoria code (binaries).  
They're billing Indigo as a replacement for COM, and that it's all 
messaging and XML-ish.  That sounds a lot more transparent than the way 
that COM works (there's really not that much information out there on 
how it works at a low level).

So it will probably be easier to, e.g., write plug-ins for IE, or 
whatever.
