It's simple really. Send the document to someone with a MAC or who does not have MS software. They may write back complaining they can't read your propritory file format document. Could you send it as text or XML instead?
What's funny is that while working as undergraduate support back during my college days I worked on a Mac. Because I was known to be good with computers professors on PCs were constantly asking for help getting a document to load on their computer that they had gotten from a colleague in another state or country.
I used MacLinkPlus, and excellent piece of software, to translate their documents. Often their Word was having a hard time recognizing documents that were also in a Word format, such as Word 6 asian, etc. And the little popup that Word gives you for determining the format of an unidentified document is useless and wrong.
So actually, the Mac users had fewer problems than the Windows users did. This was the Languages Department, so none of them used any *NIX systems.
There are a lot of issues where the US is over sensitive: terrorism/911 for example. Didn't Westwood had to change the box art because the box for Red Alert 2 showed the WTC towers?
Umm, Westwood isn't the US, they were practicing self censorship. A lot of other companies did the same thing, but that was their choice. None of the actions you cited would have lead to anyone being arrested. Hell, I'd just laugh if I was playing a game and someone got the US flag reversed, and I served in the military for 12 years.
Oh, and Hembra doesn't mean bitch in mexican spanish either; Nicaragua isn't part of Mexico.
Actually, even back when I was on active duty in 1989 they were working on soundless velcro. Given the other things they've come up with since, I don't doubt that they have succeeded.
2001 starts off with aliens, personified by the black monolith, changing pre-cognitive apes (intended to be australopithecus) who were on the road to extinction into our semi-cognitive tool bearing forefathers.
Dude, they were precognitive? So why didn't they run away when they found out one of their descendents was going to invent Jar Jar?
I suppose the fact that Pixar upgraded to blade servers BEFORE the Xserve was released never occurred to anyone? The upgrade was a significant investment, and I don't think ANY CEO, even Jobs, would want to spend millions of bucks a mere year later just so he looks ideologically consistent. If his NEXT upgrade also doesn't involve Xserves, THEN we can get suspicious...
It seems to me they'd more likely get passed over because SCO Unix is a shitty OS than because SCO is scamming Linux users.
They'd get more respect if they spent their time writing a driver or contributing code to a mozilla project.
So, does the ROM the emulator uses include the original instruments, or does it simply translate/pipe the info to a standard lame set of instruments. And are the MT-32 instruments identical to those Roland used on their RAP-10 sound card? I was always able to get games to treat the RAP-10 as an MT-32, but that doesn't really mean anything, does it...

Most likely it would make Windows run more stably...
