    not actually a bad idea for a bank as linux won't be as susceptible to keyloggers and other malware that would compromise security. still open to phishing though.

    Yeah, but the two accounts that qualify for this deal cost $14 or $30 per month. It's easy to see why this is a good deal... for the bank.

    This actually isn't the first bank to do something like this. In the late 80s, there was a bank in the US that offered an Apple //c to anyone who opened a CD with them. Of course there was a minimum deposit and you had to commit to a term of several years, so it was a good deal... for the bank.

    You have to stay in the plan until December 31, 2008. So the costs is really $13.95*6 months now or $84. So that's not too bad. You cancel it after that.
