Does Lazarus need different results depending on the OS? Does the 
developer have to worry about which Windows version is running and code 
accordingly? On the other hand, porting code from Delphi will need 
modifications anyway, and hence time could be spent on streamlining the 
behaviour.

My suggestion was to have the Lazarus implementation the same as Delphi 
XE's on Vista and higher, and hence your alternative implementation.
