I recently set one of these up for a family memeber.  I think the
customer rep person was confused.  I see no way there could be an
"apple" version and a "windows" version.  Most likely the only
difference is the CD they send you with the service, which you won't
use anyway.  I wouldn't worry, the router has an https interface.
