I hate to break this to you, but airplane systems, medical systems, banking systems, fuel pump systems and a lot of other systems all run on Windows.

Windows should NEVER be used in anything mission critical.

Windows programmers and their 'Just reboot the machine' mindset should NEVER be allowed anywhere near a mission critical application.

Why? Here is your answer, straight from the original article:

... Intergraph keeps telling us, “Shut your computer down and reboot. It’ll just take a minute.”

How many lives can you lose in a minute? ...

Nonsense. This has nothing to do with Windows and everything to do with poorly-implemented software running on it.

I have seen Java-based systems running on Linux that stall/hang and run agonizingly slowly under what should not be demanding levels of use. Bloated, heavyweight software stacks exist on all platforms, and they are favorites in government contractor architectures.

Now why they wonder of these problems? I'm old Unix user btw.
