Luckily Bitcoin running on WIN32 uses OpenSSL in addition to the OS random function to generate a key. Check out this block of code:
Code:
void GetStrongRandBytes(unsigned char* out, int num)
{
assert(num <= 32);
CSHA512 hasher;
unsigned char buf[64];
// First source: OpenSSL's RNG
RandAddSeedPerfmon();
GetRandBytes(buf, 32);
hasher.Write(buf, 32);
// Second source: OS RNG
GetOSRand(buf);
hasher.Write(buf, 32);
// Combine with and update state
{
std::unique_lock lock(cs_rng_state);
hasher.Write(rng_state, sizeof(rng_state));
hasher.Write((const unsigned char*)&rng_counter, sizeof(rng_counter));
++rng_counter;
hasher.Finalize(buf);
memcpy(rng_state, buf + 32, 32);
}
// Produce output
memcpy(out, buf, num);
memory_cleanse(buf, 64);
}
{
assert(num <= 32);
CSHA512 hasher;
unsigned char buf[64];
// First source: OpenSSL's RNG
RandAddSeedPerfmon();
GetRandBytes(buf, 32);
hasher.Write(buf, 32);
// Second source: OS RNG
GetOSRand(buf);
hasher.Write(buf, 32);
// Combine with and update state
{
std::unique_lock
hasher.Write(rng_state, sizeof(rng_state));
hasher.Write((const unsigned char*)&rng_counter, sizeof(rng_counter));
++rng_counter;
hasher.Finalize(buf);
memcpy(rng_state, buf + 32, 32);
}
// Produce output
memcpy(out, buf, num);
memory_cleanse(buf, 64);
}

If you follow the code from here you'll see what I'm talking about.
