If the decision had been otherwise, it seems to me the validation
process would have become a matter of rating operating systems
rather than compilers.  That does not serve the needs of those
who have already chosen an operating system and now must choose
a compiler for it.  There are few ways to discourage a would be
Ada project so effective as saying "Well, _real_ Ada cannot be
done on the operating system you have chosen."  CPM and RSTS
advocates should get that brush-off, but not Windows NT fans.
The world cares a lot more about Windows NT than Ada (this month).
