Thanks for pointing this possible misconception out. EmacsW32 does not 
alter any key-binding without asking. And it is very easy to revert them 
(using Customize or a special page for just this).

There is a bit more to choose at installation of EmacsW32, for example 
"windows integration". This will create windows shortcuts to start Emacs 
and/or edit files. It will also add gnuserv startup (in site-lisp.el).

What Eli edited could not be EmacW32 specific documentation since 
EmacsW32 is not a part of Emacs but rather a couple of other things: an 
add-on, installer, slightly patched Emacs if you want that etc.

Maybe I could have found a less confusing name but it is quite hard to 
find good descriptive short names.
