I'm afraid that's correct; LabVIEW customers are completely unaware of these nuances, and that's the way it should be - an end user application shouldn't care what happens in the OS, so long as everything works like it's supposed to. And, in fact, we work hard to make the end user experience the same no matter what OS they're working with; of course there will always be subtle (and sometimes not-so-subtle) nuances, but that's par for the course.

I would expect such OS documentation will ship with the final product, and hopefully you won't be subject to working directly with the OS but through heavily tested interfaces such as the WPILib.
