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. "
