Right; we simply have to tell them that these are products that, not
surprisingly, are highly proprietary and work only with Windows.
About the video card hazards: it might be prudent to have handy all the
bleeding edge releases of the various XFree servers. They are the best chance
for some new variant of an existing video card.
For example, the Mach 64 that I have in my computer at first worked only with a
bleeding edge Mach 64 server that I downloaded directly from xfree86.org.
