In Windows, the APIs provided by the OS are IMO better than these C standard headers.
WinAPI date/time is more precise, the kernel keeps int64 number of 100 nanosecond ticks. WinAPI supports arbitrary timezones, has functions to convert between timezones, has functions to deal with daylight saving.
About strings, WinAPI can convert strings between encodings, case-insensitive comparisons (including a version to use arbitrary locale), Unicode normalization, etc.
