Windows controls our nukes. Christ.

It seems that BAe are fitting things like warships and nuclear submarines with Windows-based command systems. Yes, the same Windows that is likely to be the bug-ridden piece of crap you're using right now. You don't have to be a computer scientist to realise that while losing a couple of hours work and having to reboot is a bit of a pain at home, it is somewhat more of a pain in a 'will my computer decide to crash the sub, or perhaps launch some nukes?' situation. What did BAe do to the guy they asked to look into this when he come out with the 'wrong' conclusion? They sacked him! Joy.
