lol, good one js_530. They probably want you to be a well rounded computer guru. They make more money off of ms products? Amazon is out to make money wether it makes sense to you or not. Maybe somebody coded the query wrong or not.
Just bored and thought I would give your question a shot.

amazon isn't like some dude sitting htere going "hmm, ib et this user would love windows". its probably just based that linux is a computer thing. windows is also a computer thing. thus the 2 subjects are correlated. don't get your panties in a bunch
