I know in some of the less-popular browsers you can set them to show up as IE,
or some other client. But I do not think that would effect the OS, But am not
positive either way. If a computer was set up to hide the OS I would asume it
would not register as Windows or anything else. But I am also not showing
browser numbers here.

But even if a good number of Mac users did somehow cloak thier settings - it is
still an very small percentage of the market. And Lego is a profit-driven
company. As pointed out elsewhere in this thread it would not make much sense
profit-wise for them to spend much money going after such a small market
percentage.
