Yes, that was amusing.  Not just that it wasn't running on Windows, but
that it wasn't even possible to (at the time).

Windows may be fair on a terminal, but it left, and probably still does
leave, a lot to be desired for servers.  And I'm sure that all the
mainframe guys must laugh their asses off at businesses which have to go
around updating hundreds or thousands of stand-alone terminals, compared
to updating one server and doing nothing to all the dumb terminals.
