I don't think universities should teach OS specific APIs in CS or SE curriculums. The student should learn those by himself if he wants to. The university should only explain the concepts.
If I use free software, I will probably prefer to interact with the X11 API or GTK. If I want to develop commercial software I probably want to learn Windows APIs, etc. Forcing everyone into a specific OS is not a good way to teach IMO.
