Well, the original MS Word for Windows is not available at all... so clearly
if your criteria is ALL it will never be true. Just like not all versions of
Linux are.

But if you can follow context and understand it is about modern Windows
versions I am fairly certain it is true.

Surprisingly it is NOT true of OS X versions, at least from my quick look.
Cannot find any way it really hurts anything, but still seems odd.
