Windows has had its own centralized certificate store and APIs since
NT 4.0's release in 1996.
Firefox and Java are the only mainstream software can think of on
Windows that insists on using their own certificate stores (really
just a "pile of world-readable files") instead of the built-in per-
machine+per-user certificate store on Windows.
