JDK-4031440 - FileDialog doesn't call FilenameFilter.accept()
Description
There are a few places in java.awt.FileDialog.java where our docs say: 
"Filename filters do not function in Sun's reference
implementation for Windows 95, 98, or NT 4.0." 
We should change this to say "Microsoft Windows" instead of specific versions 
of Windows.  Perhaps we should reference bugid 4031440, which has detailed 
info about why this doesn't work? 

Line 86 of FileDialog.java

The final I should not be capitalized.
