Dont have an account with them so cant try... :P Do they look at the UA strings that are hitting their portal? If so then all Linux users should set their browser string to this. It'll be fun to look at their faces when they find out that a bunch of customers are using "Windows sucks" :P.
On a more serious note, do they check for the _presence_ of a particular string or the _absense_ ? Are they specifically checking whether Windows is present or Linux / alternative OS is absent?
How to check this? I don't have much idea. The thing is that one of my friend is agreeing to dump windows for linux only hitch is that www.sharekhan.com, which he requires to access regularly isn't
working well. Maybe you will remember this Dinesh, since googling for it, I found someone had faced same problem on PCQuest forum, where you had replied. The thing is when he logs into fast trade, java applet refuses to load, whereas it loads fine in IE at his place. I have tried accessing that page with both Firefox 1.5.0.7 and Opera 9.02from Ubuntu 6.06 and SLED 10, both using SunJDK-1.5 update7. All other java applets open fine.
