Re: Clickbait article or real concern?
Cmon, it's fun to post this sort of article.
Can't speak for the flight ops, but other parts are XP embedded, and no USB. The equipment was designed some 20 years ago, FAT tested and handed over quite a few years back. We then start talking upgrades, but they're not going to get installed before the systems are pretty well tested. If you're lucky what might be used is Win7 by the time the ship is operational. It certainly won't be anything later.
Nice article though. Just the right mix of panic and smugness.
