hey !

i would say that the information is out of date!

TYPO3 works on Windows, but it lives on LINUX!

You can replace the MS RTE with GPLed HTML Area.
Please read also the Roadmap announcement.

If you are really evaluating the fitness of TYPO3 for your Project get 
in touch with a specialized consultancy. They have often more insights 
into the current development and its usage in real projects.

TYPO3 is trying to fit all needs and that means in a Windows centric 
World also to focus in some documents on that aspect.

Please do not start a Windows vs Linux Flamewar now.
