Oh yes, I forgot that MS has Office for Macintosh. Still, I haven't seen the switch on the compiler which turns on support for MacOS targets. Perhaps there is another compiler, unseen by the common folk yet :-)

The rest above are processors and do not influence _WIN32 being defined or not. For example, (looking in the docs quickly), _M_IX86 is Intel, _M_MPPC denotes a Power Macintosh, _M_MRX000 stands for MIPS. _WIN32 is always defined, no matter if you compile for MIPS, Alpha, PPC or SPARC (hehe).

Okay, I'll do this.
