I personal like to use Fortran, and I gave up C++ for Windows programming. There is no trouble and problem to call WIN API from Fortran. If compiler (i.e. Fortran) vendors can provide more info, examples, or documents for programming Windows applications (not quick win) in Fortran, that certainly may help Fortran programmers.
