tar.gz is indeed very commonly used on Linux machines, however it's far from
"for Linux only".

The Windows archiving program 7-Zip for example, can quite happily deal with
this format of archive, and if the content is a Python program, it can be run
on any machine with a Python interpreter - it won't be specific to Linux,
Windows, OS X, or anything else.

I have no information on whether the program URLwatch itself is accessible
once you're able to run it, though.
