Fair enough. Here's a picture of Windows CE rebooting on a Lufthansa flight.

That's Windows crashing, not Linux.
You're very welcome!
Hey! Write a Perl script for it!
That appears to be a Boeing and not an Airbus.
I was pretty close but when I realized they just renamed RH to fedora I was ok with it.. Was pissed cause they made the announcement a few weeks after I bought my copy.
That and their very high contractual costs have kept them out of my workplace.
You must have had a poor sales guy, my guy is great I pay a bit for some of my production servers but any server which does not impact company income I got marked as a development entitlement for about 100$ a year (eg cvs server, outgoing proxy, .....) MY database servers I pay full price for (in production only) but I have really been impressed with their support people the two times I have had to call..
"That appears to be a Boeing and not an Airbus."
And, that appears to be Windows, not Linux.
Not an Airbus. Windows has nothing to do with the Airbus and FAA threads, but for some reason you're still obsessed with them. They did just announce record income, and profit, again, so maybe that's it.
Windows crashes on in-flight entertainment systems, just like Linux. You haven't explained how who makes the plane is relevant, or is that just another one of your red herrings? You about wet your pants when you saw the picture of Linux rebooting on that Airbus, but Windows does the exact same thing. So, what's your point?
And while you're at it, please post more about the "variety of uses" of Linux on Airbus and the "myriad of problems" that they're having with it.
If there are really that many, you shouldn't have a problem coming up with, say, five or so.
That also works as a general rule: "Every time GE refer[s someone] back to a thread [they]'ve never before seen claiming others were lying, [they] find out it was only [GE] who lied."
Maybe after he solves the "great strawberry caper."
What's the point? LOL obviously that I exposed you linux liars again, when you tried to blame Microsoft for crashes on Airbus, which doesn't even use Windows but actually uses Linux. But like all logical points that expose your lies, it sailed over your head leaving you to whine about Windows on Boeing LMAO. You just can't stand anything American, obviously.
"LOL obviously that I exposed you linux liars again, when you tried to blame Microsoft for crashes on Airbus, which doesn't even use Windows but actually uses Linux."
No I didn't. Neither did any of the others who talk to you about this stuff on a regular basis. You just lied again.
"But like all logical points that expose your lies, it sailed over your head leaving you to whine about Windows on Boeing LMAO."
You didn't expose our lies. I never said anything about what OS Airbus was using. Also, interesting that you think Linux crashing on an in-flight entertainment system is significant, but readily dismiss the same when it happens with Windows. Afraid of something?
Oh, and have you found more examples of the myriad problems that Airbus is having with Linux? I'm still waiting.
The liars are obviously the linux pushers, blaming Microsoft when it's not even in use on the plane while Linux is,
Nobody claimed that, and Linux isn't what broke in the article contrary to your posting. This was explained to you in the thread.
claiming all software updates for Windows 2000 ended last summer when they actually go until 2010
The claim was no more software updates in the sense that there will be no more regular bug fixes or performance or feature improvements. The only thing coming will be security fixes. This was explained to you in the thread.
claiming Google is releasing a version of Linux
Someone posted a speculation article, nothing more. There was a lot of speculation in the undustry about Google releasing its own Linux at the time. Nobody here claimed factually that Google was releasing a Linux.
that IBM is switching to Linux internally
They're working on it. They have a lot of Windows-only infrastructure to switch over.
that China can't make infinite copies of the Red Hawk kernel
Nobody said that isn't theoretically possible. But it is impossible as long as the author doesn't let them have it. Remember, you are the one who lied on that thread, saying that the GPL forced them to give Red Hawk to anyone who asked for it.
I thought you took your love of all things Microsoft to religious extremes, but, this is ridiculous.
I suppose The Lord owns Microsoft stocks or something?
You're a joke, son!
[No, you were responding to Windows jokes. Here's a hint: when someone says "Damn Windows! But seriously..." it means "Damn Windows" was not a serious comment, just a joke.]
The instructions said "Windows 98 or better", so I installed Linux! !
Naught, you can't discuss something like that, I just tried and it got deleted.
