In an article called "Learning Unix", I think recommending (I assume proprietary) Windows/Mac software, is a bit silly.

Unix is just a bunch of standards that a couple of OSes are implementing, including OS X, not something that adheres to any philosophy about how software should be distributed.

The point is that the "couple of OSes" does not include Windows 7 / Vista / XP.
