In no way a devout Microsoft fan, I am inclined to agree with you Paul.
Color management features have been in Windows since Win 98;
unfortunately,it has typically been implemented in a way which has not
always been effectively operationalized nor automatic as may have been the
case with the Mac's Colorsynch.

The ICM engine is built into Windows; the only limitation is that programs
have to invoke it explicitly. I believe that the only reason Photoshop
includes it's own ICM is that it had one before Windows did.
