What I found interesting about this article is not so much
the story, but how the writer chose to describe operating
systems and one style in particular. See:
http://money.guardian.co.uk/scamsandfraud/story/0,13802,1273007,00.html
"[...]
"Smile says customers should regularly check the time and
date of the last login. If that looks wrong, alert your bank
immediately.
"Using non-Microsoft operating systems such as Apple or
Linux helps as fraudsters very rarely attack systems which
account for a small percentage of world computer usage.
"But many internet bank systems only work on Bill Gates-style
software. "
