I/A met the first part of this requirement (configuration with a "standard
Microsoft Windows PC") from its initial introduction with the PW station.
I/A (and probably every DCS) to this day fails to meet the second part of
this requirement (configuration in "Microsoft file formats.")
I understand what you're saying, but the shift from Unix to Windows as the
base operating system did not increase compliance with this particular
specification.
