Vista and Windows 7 users are in the clear, as are Mac users with OS X 10.4 or higher and Linux users with a kernel released after September of 2009... XP users, on the other hand, may encounter some problems.
Let's see, older versions of Mac OS, Linux and Windows are affected. Only Windows rates a mention in the headline.

I wonder if stubborn XP users could run their beloved operating system as a virtual machine running under Linux.

“Inferno sweeps through Los Angeles.”
“Inferno sweeps through Eric Wilson’s back yard.”
Which gets the headline?
No mention of Linux because no-one uses Linux for home computing.

Windows XP is still sold, unlike the older versions aforementioned.
