Could it be related to the NASA shuttle launch?

US FAA votes Windows Vista down and is interested in Linux+Google
Washington, USA - Double defeat for Microsoft
The US FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) is refusing to install Windows Vista, the new operating system developed by Microsoft, on the 45,000 computers used at its offices.
The decision made by FAA followed an accurate evaluation of update costs generated by the new installation, for example taking into consideration the 1G RAM requirement.
However, this choice does not seem the most alarming one: in fact, almost apparently, the US authority is seriously evaluating the possibility to completely abandon the Microsoft system and choose the concurrent Linux+Google one.

TEOTWAWKI? No, but a few people will be inconvenienced and will be a bit late in getting to their destination.
