No moron, the documents were done in Word format.


Then they were not using just Windows; Windows doesn't include Word. QED.

The C code is in text format, which can be done with lots of things that
either come with Windows or is a free download.


How do they do unit testing and compilation?

I know of no one running Windows that hasn't downloaded piles of free
stuff.


Me.

You can't even work up the initiative to download free tools.


Serious contracts often require more than just a free download. You have to
compile and test code. You may need an entire testbed, which sometimes
requires a dedicated machine.
