Really? Windows 7 has architectural weaknesses?

Windows7 was running on a piece of avionics test equipment in 2008 when this accident occurred? Not by a long shot.

My considered opinion is that it would be likely WindowsXP... and maybe even Windows98. .. and probably not updated.

Nope

“My considered opinion is that it would be likely WindowsXP... and maybe even Windows98. .. and probably not updated.”

Please read the story, your slip is showing. The plane wasn’t running any windows OS and the accident wasn’t caused by the malware. The accident was pilot error.

The story claims that a poorly maintained maintenance computer caused the crash. Just another microsoft hit job.

My post was a response to a general statement “..I think that Windows is a monstrosity of kluged-together code that”

Which is incorrect.
