Wendy,

thanks for taking the time to run my example.

Interesting.  I think (hope!) that it has to do with different
versions of amsmath, rather than with different operating
systems.  Myself, I am using teTeX-beta (20020207 version) on
a Redhat Linux computer.

This is not surprising, actually -- the $$...$$ form is AFAIK
depreciated in LaTeX -- I just included it in the example for
the sake of comparison.

I seem to be using the same texpower version as you (2000/06/27 v0.0.8f)

For the rest of the packages:  This is what
\RequirePackage{snapshot} gives me:

  \RequireVersions{
    *{application}{TeX}     {1990/03/25 v3.x}
    *{format} {LaTeX2e}     {2001/06/01 v2.e}
    *{file}   {test-math.tex}{0000/00/00 v0.0}
    *{package}{snapshot}    {2001/05/24 v1.11}
    *{class}  {article}     {2001/04/21 v1.4e}
    *{file}   {size10.clo}  {2001/04/21 v1.4e}
    *{package}{amsmath}     {2000/07/18 v2.13}
    *{package}{amstext}     {2000/06/29 v2.01}
    *{package}{amsgen}      {1999/11/30 v2.0}
    *{package}{amsbsy}      {1999/11/29 v1.2d}
    *{package}{amsopn}      {1999/12/14 v2.01}
    *{package}{texpower}    {2000/06/27 v0.0.8f}
    *{package}{ifthen}      {2001/05/26 v1.1c}
    *{package}{calc}        {1998/07/07 v4.1b}
    *{file}   {tpoptions.cfg}{0000/00/00 v0.0}
    *{package}{color}       {1999/02/16 v1.0i}
    *{file}   {color.cfg}   {2001/08/31 v1.1}
    *{file}   {dvips.def}   {1999/02/16 v3.0i}
    *{file}   {dvipsnam.def}{1999/02/16 v3.0i}
    *{file}   {tpsettings.cfg}{0000/00/00 v0.0}
  }

The tpoptions.cfg and tpsettings.cfg files are the ones that
followed texpower.
