That rant is flawed for two reasons.
1) It claims that Hitbox is software that runs on Windows Webservers. This is untrue because the software runs on the Hitbox server (whatever that is) and you are given some HTML to paste into your webpages. Therefore Hitbox can be used on any type of webserver from Mac to Linux to Windows.
2) It claims that the sites that are monitored are of interest to Windows users. Once again untrue. The sites monitored are: "Cisco Systems, PlayStation (America), Inc., Alaska Airlines, Northwest Airlines, IDG.net, Sun Microsystems, and Brooks Brothers." which are on interest to any OS user.
