Me, on Techradar: GhostNet is a wake-up call. Upgrade Windows or switch to Linux.

You’re right of course. But how many senior government officials even know that there are operating systems other than Windows?
What is this “operating system” of which you speak?
You know, it was the British Intelligence services who invented the computer, precisely to give them an edge over all the world’s other intelligence services. Considering the speed he was already doing, they’re going to have to invent a special machine to enable Turing to spin even faster in his grave.
