Not true anymore. Deneb has ported part of its IGRIP simulation
software to Windows NT. I saw a system running it at the last Robot
Show held in Detroit last month. 

Very impressive graphics and performances for such a small machine.

And note that I'm not even a user of Deneb's IGRIP. In fact, I'm
running Robcad on a SGI workstation. But I can recognize a good
product when I see one....
