The way the rep put it, the Feds believe NT is a known quantity, so it
speeded the process of necessary approvals. The rep also thought it was
nice that he was able to connect a monitor to the back of the unit and
configure it like any other windoze application.

Windows of any kind (even stripped down for this application) is still
far inferior to a real-time version of linux, but what do the Feds
know....they're paper pushers...not engineers.
