    Okay, this boggles the mind. El Reg reports that the RN is either
    planning on or is already running critical apps on Windows-platform
    systems aboard some of Her Majesty's Naval vessels.

    Nuclear weapons in ICBMs aboard boats where Windows is the baseline OS
    for the command and control systems? That is *not* a comforting
    thought.

    Ya know, Windows is just dandy for the happy [censored] I use it for, but I'd fear it
    in a computer on which my life depends.
