Actually, no they don't. They don't say anything about your OS, and there 
is no User-Agent string.

Since Mark claims to have not seriously used Unix, that rules out Linux, 
FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and modern Apple Mac. It's just barely possible that 
he's still using VMS or Hurd, but really, by a process of elimination the 
most likely answer is that he's using Windows.
