By that I also mean forcing people to own a copy of Windows and a copy of Delphi just to see if my Linux or FreeBSD Lazarus LCL-GTK2 or LCL-QT4 is working as per the reference implementation. Forcing such requirements is ludicrous.
I personally haven't owned a copy of Windows since probably Windows 98 which came with a very old laptop of mine. I believe neither FPC nor Lazarus support pre-Windows2000 any more.
