[foxboro] Why is I/A on Windows and not on Unix anymore?

Hi list,
Here's an extract from a document that forms a general 
requirement to all DCS vendors for one of our customers:

>Configuring (programming) the PCS for control loops, 
>cntrol strategies, controller tuning, mathematical functions, 
>table formats, trend displays, graphic displays, reports 
>or any other standard function shall be possible using a 
>standard Microsoft Windows PC and Microsoft file formats.

I'll not disclose the name of the customer here, but it's 
symptomatic for the market. That's why Unix is not the 
preferred OS anymore for our products. And the tech 
people "have to eat the soup" (german saying) resulting 
out of this.

Best regards -
