Using C code from DMD on Windows is exactly the same as using it from 
any Windows C++ compiler (or even a C compiler from a different 
vendor!). The statement should be removed.

"Giving false expectations in possible new D users is dangerous."
"A good article must...not just talk about good implementations that may 
be found years from now."

I agree with this. But your list doesn't help. I don't think there's 
anything in your list which new users need to know.
