General PC magazines have been doing this for a long time. PC Plus in particular.

I really don't understand how Linux "won." After all, I never saw a PC mag giving away a free Windows CD.

Microsoft wont allow their prodeucts to be given out free. There is however, some magazines that give out free programs exclusively for windows.
