Well considering technology of which I know and in fact I spend several years of my career working for the department of the Navy on technology that made violent holes in the water, and considering what the Navy under Bill who never inhaled while protesting in England is/has been doing, I see no problem in going back in time to find someone who had a clue. Consider this infowar.com

Windows NT Cripples US Navy Cruiser

....
"Because of politics, some things are being forced on us that without political pressure we
might not do, like Windows NT," Redman said. "If it were up to me I probably would not have
used Windows NT in this particular application. If we used Unix, we would have a system that
has less of a tendency to go down."

I think I like the idea of someone who came from a time when the lives of members of the military were not at the whim of politician's

As an engineer who has worked on projects of life limb and seen extreme system failures. watman.com I consider that any person who advocate's an MSFT OS for any mission critical application over any of several Unixes and Linux as technical retards or criminally negligent. Msft Oses are find for playing DOOM or figureing out your taxes. But only those who ain't been there and ain't done it stupidly think a msft OS can be used for any Mission critical applications. Fortunately the homing control computer of the advanced capability MK-48 and the guidance computer of the Tomahawk missile do not use a MSFT os.
