IMHO this has nothing to do with what coast you are on.

Officially they have funny URLs for their different searches.
http://www.google.com/options/specialsearches.html

This page links to:
http://www.google.com/unclesam
http://www.google.com/linux
http://www.google.com/bsd
http://www.google.com/mac.html
http://www.google.com/microsoft.html

Why the weirdness with mac and microsoft searches?  I have no idea.
They both work using their non ".html" counterparts.
