Looks like you're overcomplicating things.
Just change the options to pass the string instead of an index (unless you
need the indes for something else):
<select name="OS[]" size="5" multiple="multiple">
<option value="" selected>Please select one or more...</option>
<option value="Windows">Windows</option>
<option value="Mac OS X">Mac OS X</option>
<option value="Linux">Linux</option>
</select>
Then
$myarray = $_GET['OS'];
will then give you an array of the selected Strings
