The Yorktown

I thought we were done with the gratuitous Microsoft bashing. -- Ian PS: it's my understanding the International Space Station runs on NT. BTW, it was a spontaneous reboot loop in a non-Microsoft embedded OS (VxWorks, as I recall) that crippled one of the Mars rovers for a considerable time. ________________________________________ From: cctalk-bounces at classiccmp.org [cctalk-bounces at classiccmp.org] On Behalf Of Dan Roganti [ragooman at comcast.net] Sent: Wednesday, June 10, 2009 4:43 PM To: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts Subject: Re: The Yorktown Christian Liendo wrote: yea, that's the story - it's a shame too. A truely reliable OS doesn't let any kind of user app bring down the whole system/network/etc - Microsoft's excuse is purely irresponsible. Heaven forbid they ever use it on a fighter jet or spacecraft. I would seriously doubt that a windows os would pass any of the regression tests used in aerospace systems.
