i can't fucking believe this - bae systems are going to use windows, rather than un*x, for command and control systems on britain's warships. this is the stupidest decision i have ever heard of.



windows is full of security holes and displays unreliability of a high order. it is going to be very, very difficult for m$ to fix those holes because of the lack of modularity in windows' source code.



i can only imagine that there have been some big back-handers given out prior to this decision being taken.



write to your m.p. demanding that this decision be reversed.



oss torpedoed: royal navy will run on windows for warships - the register.
