Allocating aligned memory in Windows

A question came up on an internal alias about allocating memory blocks along page alignments, and it was harder than I expected to find the answer.  So here is the link to _aligned_malloc
 on MSDN
, and now Google can work its magic.

_aligned_malloc
Allocates memory on a specified alignment boundary.

    If _aligned_malloc didn't exist, do you think it would be difficult to write a function that does the same yourself? I hope you can't pass a Microsoft job interview if you do. :)
