I downloaded the Windows demo last night. It's clunky, and not completely accessible, as the map has a lot of unlabeled locations. I'm also not entirely sure how to manage equipment, as there are links, but there wasn't any obvious state change, other than a change in some statistics I happened to find, that probably reflect the equipment. In short, accessibility is sort of there.
