It is indeed true. Windows had only just been released at this point, and was still limited by running MS-DOS in something of a pseudo-multitasking mode. The Macintosh platform, however, was slightly more mature, having already been publicly available for a little over a year.
The majority of Microsoft's software was being written to target non-Microsoft platforms at this point, which started to change with their increasingly anti-competitive marketing techniques (such as the so-called 'AARD code'[1] in 1991).
