  Nah, he means it.  Windows 200(BC) ran on most contemporary abacuses,
although many had to have more beads and thicker wires installed to handle the
heavy system load it imposed.  Known to the Romans as "Windows CC", it was the
first operating system to allow you to send a message to several citizens at
once (by dispatching a bunch of slaves in parallel), and to this day we still
refer to a secondary destination for an email in a "CC" line.
