Dear all, after a few months of testing we are extremely happy to release the new clean desuicide / security programing method for Capcom's CPS2 hardware.

This guide is the result of almost two years of work by an small group of arcade enthusiasts to unravel the secrets of the security implementation found in one of the largest and most popular arcade platform systems. Thanks for this work it is now possible to fully preserve any CPS2 systems as original hardware.

Over the coming weeks additional details about the CPS2 hardware internals will be released providing unseen insights into how Capcom implemented security.

More details, PDFs, step by step guides, and and video at the link.

What that it won't clean the windows in your house?  Note that windows isn't capitalized. 

Arduino IS fully compatible with Windows.  Via windows 10 you can even have it show up as an internet of things. 

You just need to accept the fact that Windows is the OS to have simply because the most people have it... for better or for worse.
