Yes, very true. However, getting back to the complaint of both 
documentation sets being in a single document: I'm experienced 
with box Linux-based and Windows-based systems and I still find 
the combined documentation annoying and a pain because I have to 
scroll through the Posix stuff every time to get to the Windows 
section.

Except, as of today the two pages have been split and it looks 
much better. Thanks to whoever did that.
