Interesting to note how many stars on that list are G-type main-sequence. The sun is a G2 main-sequence star. The way stars and planetary systems are formed, it would be unusual for a G-type star not to have a family of planets. And just statistically, a lot of planets will be in the "temperate zone" (water in a liquid state).
It's that fact than keeps SETI enthusiasts supplied with vitamins!
