Just because you can't personally keep your computer from crashing in Windows because of all the cruddy old second-hand hardware you put in it doesn't mean there's millions of others out there who haven't experienced the "damage" you feel has been inflicted upon your personally by Microsoft. How does that address my comment? I don't run Windows because I don't like it. I was talking about its (lack of) stability on US Navy warship hardware.
Grow up, kids. It makes *NIX guys all sound like James Carville bitching that the 2000 election was "stolen" from Al Gore because of some big money conspiracy.
Windows can't run a warship for a full tour of duty without crashing. Grow up and accept reality. Windows is a desktop OS, not an embedded platform use in weapons systems by a modern military. The only military force that I want to use Windows in its hardware is the PLA.
Ah, so you're in the Navy and you've seen this for youself? You're the guy telling EDS that they have to adapt the NMCI project to your *NIX specs because Windows 2000 crashes?
I think we all know the answer is "no" and that you're lying about the perceived lack of stability because of your personal ideological (you said yourself "I don't like it") hatred for Microsoft.
