M-TAB is not a Windows-specific problem, so it should be documented in
the common part of the manual, if at all. Then the Windows appendix
could have a cross-reference to that description in the common part.

Sorry, I don't understand what is the problem to which you refer here.
The manual says:
Emacs compiled as a native Windows application normally turns off
the Windows feature that tapping the <ALT> key invokes the Windows
menu. The reason is that the <ALT> serves as <META> in Emacs. When
using Emacs, users often press the <META> key temporarily and then
change their minds; if this has the effect of bringing up the Windows
menu, it alters the meaning of subsequent commands. Many users find
this frustrating.
You can re-enable Windows' default handling of tapping the <ALT> key
by setting `w32-pass-alt-to-system' to a non-`nil' value.
What is missing or incorrect in this text?
