LOL, well you can trust what you will. I will fly on them, I don't have much choice, do I? Direct mechanical control of the surfaces is not such an outdated idea as you may believe. My engineering background is rooted in the idea that if something can fail, it will, and there had better be backup. God help us all if it's Windows driving the control surfaces. We might have a WGA error in midflight, directing us to contact Microsoft for a genuine copy of Windows. We might have an update problem. Your plane is now operating in reduced functionality mode. Please contact Microsoft to unlock the tail surfaces.
Seriously, I still don't trust them. Not without a backup.

THey have backup....and backups to the backup, and backups to that....
