WINAPI is just a define for __stdcall (since _MSC_VER >= 800 anyways; VC 
6.0 being _MSC_VER == 1200), and won't change.

So, IMO the change is not bad, and makes things less convoluted by using 
the same convention all over.

(And _beginthreadex actually accepts both __stdcall and __clrcall 
calling conventions.)
