Denying is going on where? Certainly not I!

No, not you. But driftdiver has sure been trying awfully hard to do just that.

A series of events resulted in this accident. One of which, one that could have certainly prevented it had it not occurred, was the failure of the test computer to detect the failure of the on board warning system due to the Trojan. Is it possible the pilot would have ignored a WORKING warning system? I doubt it.

That statement is not supported by the article or any official investigation finding. It's FUD and sensationalism, period, and trading on the deaths of people for some "computer war" points you're trying to score.

“A series of events resulted in this accident”

Exactly, so why do you always focus on the microsoft component as being the root cause?

The pilot is responsible for everything that happens to the airplane. The pilot and co-pilot were negligent as were the maintenance crews and the airline.

Thats why they are trying to shift blame off to some other source.
