Principles - P6 Scalability
Reduction by 7 words. For a regular GNU/Linux of other unix-like system user, the bit about ISO C compilers even existing for Microsoft systems more or less says "despite there being no point ever trying to do science on a Microsoft system, you *could* hypothetically compile and run any ISO C program on it". Interesting, but not directly of interest to this user, who is unlikely to actually want to do it. A Microsoft user who thinks that s/he can do science on a Microsoft system will typically think "Microsoft is good, so of course I can run anything I want on it". So the message here could more likely be seen as provocative rather than useful, since this user is unaware of the fundamental problems of Microsoft as an authoritarian, manipulative, centralised organisation providing bad software. So either way, the parenthesis about Microsoft can be safely removed given the space constraints.
