Retrospectively attempting to cater for M$ propriety methods which are
liable to change, may be a waste of finite resources.

IBM did the same frequent propriety changes in the 1980's with its PS2
computer but the world had adopted the AT (80386 ?) design instead; that
was the beginning of the end of IBM PC designer and manufacturer.

Hopefully the world will now adhere to international standards and not
seek to implement every non-standard M$ weirdness.

Readers around the world may not understand "mungeth nada" or "the
Dragons" or "out" (Hi Graeme) so using simplified jargon-less English
aids universal understanding :-)

Happy Christmas to everyone.
