Did it work on (say) Microsoft Windows?

In any case, this claim comes straight from Tuxedo's website.

I was going to write the same, but refrained, because in fact this 
brings more questions than it answers:

 1. Who has verified vendor claims before copying them? The one quoted
    by Alexander hasn't even been adapted to our viewpoint.
 2. What comes on these PC-s? Vendor-specific GNU/Linux distributions?
 3. Do we have a process to prevent this page from going outdated? At
    least items #1, #3 and #5 are presented in a highly time-sensitive
    way. Without frequent review, this will quickly reflect poorly not
    just on KDE, but on vendors.

And how do you plan to integrate that page in kde.org?
