Oh? Then don't let yourself be caught behind many of the modern glass
panels... Read: blanket statements like that are not really useful

When you say "modern glass panels", do you mean just a moving map
(ala Avidyne's multifunctioni display for SA) or do you include glass displaying
primary instruments as well? I'm not aware of any certified glass for
primary instruments that uses any variant of a microsoft OS. And I
think it's still true that no microsoft OS has been certified to DO-178B
level C or better.
