To quote wikipedia! "A technical standard is an established norm or requirement. It is usually a formal document that establishes uniform engineering or technical criteria, methods, processes and practices." If they're following the standard they shouldn't need to cater for different OS's - one will do. From the sound of it they've probably copy/pasted chunks of stuff, then edited the windows stuff to make that work and forgot about the linux bits. There's probably no malice involved here but it sounds like a massive bodge, which is totally unprofessional for a commercial product.
