By a standard OS, I assume you mean Windows CE/ME/NT?

Sometime, if you're really, really bored, I'll explain how the
international standards process really works.

Dilbert talking to a vendor:

V:  This product conforms to all applicable international standards.

V:  Is there someone with less experience I could talk to?
D:  Do you have my boss's card?
