I wouldn't say there is a "Windows way", considering that current Windows is actually a system composed of several different layered components:
1) The NT kernel (which is pretty nicely designed) its own ideas of what "objects" are and all the ObXXX functions.
2) Win32 which is a horrible mess from the Windows 3.1 days and maybe earlier.
3) COM and flavors, which actually came later with its own brand of objects.
4) The .NET framework.
It doesn't seem to me that "Windows objects" are really unified in spirit and design across all these components (not to mention that Win32 isn't object-oriented at all).
