No, I think that Windows is a monstrosity of kluged-together code that, as the most prevalent operating system by far, also has the most effort aimed at finding ways to force stack overflow errors and root access.
There are so many better choices for embedded systems.
What would be interesting is if you disagree.
That's the real reason that Windows is such a target. If Linux or Apple had the market share that Microsoft has then they would be the target and all the self appointed software snobs would have someone else to talk trash about.
