As I understand it, MS products (e.g. Windows, Word) can only 
recognize 4 specific style variations within a given font family - 
namely regular, bold, italic, and bold italic. I'm not sure how it 
recognizes the variants - whether by style name or internal flags or 
some other differentiation.

Some font families have been produced with a single family name and 
dozens of different styles such as light, black, outline, condensed, 
etc. etc. This works fine on Macs, but the variations aren't 
recognized by Windows.

I can't speak for ancient history, but certainly ALL of Adobe's 
current offerings are well-named to work perfectly under both Windows 
and MacOS.

And yes, bad conversions, whether legal or not, have bad results.

I'm not sure how this presentation relates; he also uses some 
terminology that's somewhat different from what I'm used to:
