I’ve never seen the fake CAPTCHA yet. but I wonder if the code is clever enough to sniff the user agent and only offer it to Windows users?

Since I use Linux, and I don’t fake the user agent string, perhaps I won’t ever see one of these things. When I press the required Win+R I see the application finder, not a box to run commands.
