That is the text of the table entry in the article that I was referencing. My first thought was "oh, they've taken it out for Vista (64 bit support". But if that were the case I'd expect the NT, 2000 and XP behaviour to be documented still. If MS wanted to depricate the flag surely they would document it to that effect. Pretty sure I've used this flag with XP to suppress any UI for installer helper apps.

There are plenty of good uses for the feature (Tk apps for a start) and there are plenty of other ways of managing a key logger so I'd be surprised if that were the reason for a change. Dropping console support entirely in the future might be a reason, but then the change would be documented.

My best guess at this point is that it is a documentation bug in the Dec. 2005 version.
