This may be an unfortunate mismatch of English idioms.

"Out there", to me, means "current, available/on sale/in use now, in
active use and/or maintenance".

That notwithstanding, I have to say, I still think it's ludicrous to
imply that anything _before_ Win95 could have drawn upon it, even if
making a negative statement.
