Criminal incompetence at the FAA

Um, I have run MS Oses successfully for months without failure - actually, I
never got to test it fully as power outages crashed it. It is not the OS
many times, rather the poor software developers who write for the OS. If
they write drivers or other kernel stuff the OS is compromised.

I suspect it is not a microsoft problem at all, rather the vendor who wrote
stuff for the OS is at fault.

If you have more specific information about this i would love to hear about
it.

It's shameful that they would trust people's lives to a computer
system that had to be "reset every thirty days" just to keep from
crashing.

Microsoft delenda est.

Now I'm scared! Microsoft shouldn't be making systems for critical
applications. I agree whoever made the purchase should be in jail,
but only after a public flogging by every rated pilot and controller.

I doubt it will happen, but I hpe they go back to using a real OS like
UNIX for this stuff, else progress will become an oxymoron.
