I'm not sure the platform SDK include files (.H and .IDL) are really compatible with VC7.1. I remember that we (on our company, building C++ software) had to 'Unregister the PSDK Directories with Visual Studio' (available from the start menu) before building the stuff, otherwise there were compiler errors.

This needs some testing, sure. However, I'm fairly confident that Microsoft has fixed/is going to fix whatever issues arise - they want the platform SDK to be usable with a "recent" compiler (not necessarily the latest one). There was a recent update to the platform SDK (which now comes with both Itanium and AMD64 compilers), so I'm (still) optimistic.
