IC runs on the matrix host that you're accessing. Similarly, when you
deck in, you're running your software on their computer. Half the
difficulty in decking is simply to get your code to run on the host, as
determined by their security rating. I expect you wouldn't be protected
from Black IC at all by using a non-standard operating system. However,
it's possible that a host using an operating system the decker is
unfamiliar with would be completely unaccessible...
