....making encrypted transactions on PayPal, GMail, and just about every other website vulnerable to eavesdropping by hackers who are able to control the connection between the end user and the website he's visiting. Thanks for the ping.

Do these hacking techniques rely on the browser running on a Windows machine, or do they work on any OS?

This sounds pretty serious. I'll be interested in seeing what Bruce Schneier and other cryptographers have to say about the attacks.
Regarding the time they mention in the article (minutes to seconds per byte), remember that the attacks only get better with time. Expect some smart boffin to come up with a real-time (or near enough to not matter) implementation of this.
