I can confirm this one now. This little test opens a console window on
7, but not Vista, when compiled with 'gcc -mno-cygwin -mwindows'.

int
main(void)
{
  HWINSTA wst = CreateWindowStation (0, 0, WINSTA_ALL_ACCESS, 0);
  SetProcessWindowStation(wst);
  AllocConsole();
  Sleep(3000);
  return 0;
}

There seems to have been quite a bit of rearchitecting in this area.
On 7 there's a process called 'conhost.exe' for every console, which I
don't think I've seen on previous Windows versions.
