I think if you look at more of their products you will find that Yahoo
is mostly a Windows-only shop.  E.g. AFAIK even Macs cannot use
Y!-Music.  Their business is selling Ads, so those few Unix users who
are also mostly tech-savvy enough to avoid their ads are not on their
radar.  Face it:  you will probably cost them more money than they
make from you.
