    Exactly my point!! The *Windows* accelerators implement the M$ GUI APIs in the
    hardware or require the winblows GUI software to run appropriately. Same
    applies to WinModems and perhaps other hardware. I doubt anyone except
    Micro$oft will implement their GUI API on their architectures.
