it also depends on the behavior
if, let say, Win9x crashed and Win NT don't crash and return an error 
code, then the simplest is to return the error code in all cases (and 
leave a comment in the code noting the difference with Win 9x)
if the differences are more important, then more advanced techniques 
should be used
