FSVO "all".  On the page at:

I read:
  Workstation Type
     1. Windows          3. AIX              5. Reserved
     2. Reserved         4. Reserved

That's pretty short of "all".  They seem to have dropped HP-UX and Solaris
after z/OS 2.2.

Well, there are/were many z/OS add-ons available for Windows only.
RMF, OSA/SF, HCM...

Previously OSA/SF on PC was Windows EXE application. I liked it. However later it was replaced with JAVA .jar. It was really nightmare to setup it running and connectivity to a host was crippled to only one method.


BTW: OSA/SF is rather history now, because it support older OSA cards only. It is still supported, I mean one may install supported version of z/OS on downlevel, but supported machine and in this case one can find out OSA Express4S or even Express3.
OSA Express 5 and higher are managed from HMC, no OSA/SF support.
OSA Express 3 and older are not managed from HMC, OSA/SF is the only way.
OSA Express 4 is managed by both.

And of course it is mandatory for CHPID type OSE, usually used for native SNA. OSC was never supported, OSD has nothing to set up. OSX, OSM - I have never worked with it, but it's also history (zBX).
And OSN - history also.
