I'm literally not talking about the services they provide, I'm talking about the AWS servers themselves. The physical box that lives at Amazon. To boot up it has to have an operating system. That OS is a flavor of Linux. The number of people who have not understood that in this thread is downright mind boggling.

Who cares what OS the AWS machines are running? I can't touch it, it's completely inaccessible for me and other clients. I can only touch the services which AWS provides. I wouldn't know the difference if it was running windows, since the OS is completely transparent, basically a hidden implementation detail.
