I *hate* Windows.  It is utterly contemptible.  Why?  Consider this perversity:

$ file /c/Windows/SysWOW64/Open*.dll
/c/Windows/SysWOW64/OpenAL32.dll: PE32 executable (DLL) (GUI) Intel 80386, for MS Windows
/c/Windows/SysWOW64/OpenCL.dll:   PE32 executable (DLL) (console) Intel 80386, for MS Windows

$ file /c/Windows/System32/Open*.dll
/c/Windows/System32/OpenAL32.dll: PE32+ executable (DLL) (GUI) x86-64, for MS Windows
/c/Windows/System32/OpenCL.dll:   PE32+ executable (DLL) (console) x86-64, for MS Windows

That’s right, folks, *exactly* backwards.  Thanks, Redmond.  Keep up the good bork.
