I would do it differently - I would avoid completely mentioned Operating Systems and other "exotic" terms and go for the"Use Standards!" angle instead. Remember that Bank Leumi, for example, is government owned, which means they are subject to some interesting legal limitations. Also, I know that at certain conditions it is forbidden to condition the giving of one service in the use of another. For example, Coca Cola is prohibited from telling store owners - we will only sell you coca cola if you our beer. I have no idea if and how such a claim can be brought here, but it is worth thinking about it. For example, can it be claimed that since one of the biggest customers of the bank has a monopoly like position in the software market the bank should not condition it's services in used said big customer software? I have no idea, but it's a line of thought looking into. Again, it's not about Linux (or Mac). it's about the freedom to choose.
