Why should D&D—even an intro set—especially an intro set—require Microsoft Windows? Besides, much of the appeal of face-to-face RPGs for many is that they let us get away from the 21st century for a bit.

No, it doesn't. With the percentage of college students on many campuses buying Macs for their computers now approaching--and often rising above 50%--even significant chunks of the target demographics of D&D aren't using Windows.
