Several articles on this accident have stated categorically that the plane's automatic warning system was not working. The ground based test computer DID NOT DETECT THAT FACT. Whether it would have or not had the ground crew allowed it more time is not at issue. It DID NOT WORK TO SPECIIFIED SPEED because it was vulnerable and was infected by malware. Those are facts that have come out of the investigation. You and driftdiver can dance all you want, trying to deflect the facts, but the computer Trojan had a contributory effect on causing this disaster. Period. it was not the ONLY cause, but it was a factor. . . and an important one that failed to prevent all the human errors that did indeed pile up to kill all those people.
Damn it, Puget! I DID NOT WRITE THE ARTICLE! This report post dates the "official conclusion" you linked to in Wikipedia, which is NOT an authoritative source. Everything in the press about malware IS NOT A CONSPIRACY TO ATTACK YOUR BELOVED MICROSOFT! For Pete's sake, give it a rest.
Hold your temper, Sword...
