I do not know about that 'touch', but I've been thinking how much we, as
members of ARRL, have been credited from M$ for that bias of QST.
I can't remember in QST but one article about operating systems other than
M$ during recent 15 years. I know, QST is magazine for and about radio,
but computer software is completely avoidable in no magazine these days.
For a reason or another, those articles about ham software in the QST are
all made for M$ -based operating systems.
I'm not aware of those archive-CD's sold by ARRL, but I'm afraid they are
also meant for M$ -readers only.
