erk...UK nuke launch systems might be running on Windows

[McKenzie]

The software might be used on Vanguard class boats which carry the UK's Trident missiles. Forget all about the blue screen of death...instead of "file not found" it'll be "missile not found...please select one of the axis of evil nations from the drop down menu and search in that location"

"It's one thing having and anti-aircraft destroyer running on Windows; it's quite another matter when we are talking about Her Majesty's nuclear threat. Because it inconceivable that we could allow the possibility of accidental release of nuclear missiles."
