Not true at all.

ACPI tables are written to a standard. In addition they contain OS specific
conditional code which means what occurs depends on the system. We fake 
being one kind of windows to deal with some bugs but many platforms don't
work with all forms of windows so its pot luck if you got the right one and
some vendors ship dsdt updates with their installs for windows.
