In my experience comparing Prime95 under Win95, Win98, NT4, and Linux (Slackware 8.1 for the most part, 2.4.18 kernel), the OS doesn't have much if any impact on Prime95 speeds.

I've seen wider differences on SAME type hardware and SAME OS a couple times than I've seen when switching OSs on the same identical machine.

Can't hurt to add it as a optional field, but I don't think it's helpfull as a required one.
