well, if any airplane uses windows they will definatly change the fact that
flying is safe than driving. for god sake windows (any version) crashes more often then there is an accident yearly. i for one will stop using air plane if i learn they are using windows, linux..... i don't know, it is reliable, but only thing i'm worried about is linux not having drivers for the devices lol i'm less worried about linux, but i don't think they would be using windows they could be charged with gross endangerment of lives he he he he -- Capt.

This was meant to be a joke, had this wonderful vision of the aircraft about

ha ha ha this was good, how this? in the middle of flying and the main
computer says sorry the thirty days trial is over, please purchase the full version, program funconability(forgot how to spell it sorry) is limited, you will no longer be able to control the airplane. or how's this? in the middle of flight, sorry unable to install update, your system was found to have an invalid copy of the operating system, please make sure using this link..... that your OS complies with the anti-piracy law -- Capt.
