I don't know why it would be different in Windows than on Linux.
If you're using Win64, then the answer is simple: x86_64-win64 unlike
any other x86 target does not support Extended, so neither the
compiler nor the code in runtime will ever calculate anything with
that precision.
Well, this probably isn't the (sole) reason in this particular case,
because the results posted by Michael and coming from Linux (probably
x86_64) were equal for constants and variables, but less precise than
the result of run-time posted for Windows (unfortunately without
specifying whether it was i386-win32 or x86_64-win64, but I'd guess for
the former based on the results - exactly due to the reason mentioned by
you).
