Yes, but the list of available OSes does not include Linux:
So I wonder then – what is it, if not an OS?
Operating System
* Any Operating System
* Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) (15)
* Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) (47)
* Windows Vista Business (362)
* Windows Vista Home Basic (33)
* Windows Vista Home Premium (1,030)
* Windows Vista Ultimate (70)
* Windows XP (182)

See the lists on the left: “Brand, CPU Speed, Display size, Operating System, Avg. Customer Review, Price…”

Do you consider useful to write them to have some sort of Linux category added to that list? What would you reply to the answer that “There are just too many distros out there?”

The results may have changed in two days, but I find only one Linux computer in the top ten, with seven in the top 24 (the first page).
