I do not believe this is true.
Windows has a base driver set like Mac.
Windows may, though most base drivers on Windows are, um, patchy at best.

"Class compliant" isn't just a Mac thing, though. Linux and BSD have drivers for class compliant devices, as do a number of other Unixen (which Mac is, actually, of course). It's just MS-Windows that's the outlier of the main OSs.
Microsoft tend just do whatever they feel like.

I didn't mean this a discussion of Windows vs other drivers quality.
Simply that they exist.
If I hook up a compliant device Windows will have the driver. If not, an update usually finds them.
Focusrite 2i2 for example, I can hook that to any windows system and it just works as expected. At least in my experience.
