Guy serves five months in prison for uploading a copy of Revenge of the Sith to a torrent site; as a condition of his parole, he’s required to install monitoring software on his computer. He can choose whatever OS he wants as long as it’s Windows, since that’s the only OS the monitoring software works on.

I am sure if his sentence was to use OSX only you'd have a fit.
