Please forgive the quote recycling: "never attribute to malice that
which can adequately be explained by bad grammar."  I think they have
simply grouped the OSes badly and didn't mean to suggest that Linux
was a variant of Windows.  Anyone who would go so far as to call it
"GNU/Linux" has obviously read at least a little on the subject.  And
if you're going to get all hot and bothered about it, feel free to
protest for *BSD: unsupported AND unmentioned.
