a little proof to add to the mix
In one case, bot software detected whether the game "Diablo II" was installed on the host PC. If the game was present, the program would steal items from the player's characters and drop them at preplanned places in the online game world.

Right from the article. Diablo two, a Windows game shows they are talking mainly about Windows.

Still in 90% of the case it's user error causing the problem. Most trojan's that allow you machine to be used a zombie do require the user to execute the trojan in the first place via social engineering.
