Only to the extent that they choose to stick themselves with them. If banks were to grow balls enough to start issuing RFPs specifying no Microsoft operating systems, I'm sure there would be suppliers happy to cooperate. Microsoft would pitch a fit, most likely, but there's an adage about shoes that fit...which applies equally well to Microsoft pitching a fit about people pointing out how insecure the Emperor's clothes are and to banks who capitulate to such fit-pitching. /~\ The ASCII der Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML [EMAIL PROTECTED] / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
