I just got my copy of the Microsoft Cryptographic Service Provider Development Kit, Version 1.0. It appears to support only Windows NT. A first glance reveals no built-in GAK (but I haven't examined it closely yet!).
You're right, you haven't looked at it closely. Although it doesn't have Key Escrow, new cryptosystems can only be added if they are signed by a private key held by Microsoft. Of course, Microsoft has agreed with the State Dept. to sign only export-"strength" crypto. Marc
