If I could send a pull request to Microsoft for inclusion of a legit whois binary on their OS--nope, you're right, I'm just full of spite on this subject. :)

Actually, pretty sure most linux distributions don't ship with the whois binary.

(This is entirely based on the fact that I find myself installing it far too often)

That's a feature. My initial installations don't include much. Tools are installed the first time I need to use them.
