MIS (Image Specialists) also adds ammonia to the clear base that they 
sell as a cleaning solution.  I believe that is the reason folks have 
used Windex in the past for cleaning - for the ammonia.

I use Paul's base diluted a bit more (more water, less glycerol) with 
ammonia and some isopropyl alcohol to clean when switching ink sets, 
or when I buy a used machine.  

I have heard recomendations not to leave the alcohol in for longer 
periods, like when storing a machine, because of it's hardening/aging 
effect on plastics.

Best,
