The difference is WinAPI will insert your program into the "send these types of messages to this process" queue where Linux (MacOSX is BSD based which is Unix and similar enough for the discussion) you will need a driver or process to monitor that (IRQ level understanding is helpful in explaining how it would work).

I hadn't come across it before. I'll have to look into it to see how well it handles Jaiku. Could be the app I've been looking for in that respect. Thanks for heads up on that one, Leezl.
