That msdn page says what minimum value you need to specify for
_WIN32_WINNT and other macros based on whatever minimum msw
version your program requires. For example, compile with
  -D_WIN32_WINNT=0x0501
your program supports only xp and later.

This is documented in 'w32api.h', and has often been discussed
here--see the archives.
