I doubt it could spread on Linux anyway. The bug is most likely
Windows-specific and the payload is extremely unlikely to run on Linux.
Hey,
I have to say, I do not understand the rationale behind asking
Linux developers to use Windows workstations. Just my 2 cents.
Yes, I know the usual answer... that they also need access to
Windows-only tools like Outlook, etc. I suspect you'll find that
