Yes, waiting for the system shut shutdown while rebooting, while falling 40,000 feet kinda sucks...

These are classic! I've actually received that "keyboard not found, press F1 to continue." message. It was proof of microsoft brilliance.

Oh, and that last picture of the airport reader board with the fatal error on it... as funny as it is I have to point out the departure schedule has nothing to do with the airplanes, thus it crashing would, at worst, leave some helpless as to what airplane is at what gate and when they are expected to leave.

True, and beside, the onboard computer is probably a more reliable operating system....

Posted by Sol System (Member # 30) on :

As long as we're being charitable, the keyboard error is not a Microsoft invention, and does, or did at one point, serve a purpose.

The only time I've seen the keyboard error was during startup, not in Windows, or even MS-DOS.

I wish I knew what was used onboard aicraft...commercial aircraft, that is. I suspect it would be a specialized version of unix or something similar.

Antag, I have emailed Boeing and asked, hopefully they'll reply tomorrow.

I too have received the "keyboard error", yet it says press any key to continue. No mouse button to click on, pah......

I got my reply from Boeing:::

Subject: FW: Aircraft Operating Systems
Date: Fri, 9 Feb 2001 13:24:25 -0800
From: "Lombardi, Michael J"
To: Ritten

Ritten,
Our airplane computers are specially designed operating systems, avionics, systems, etc. However, inflight entertainment systems use Windows.

Posted by Cartman (Member # 256) on :

Well, at least they aren't foolish enough to rely on any M$ product for the systems that really matter... the worst thing that could happen would be a complete loss of inflight entertainment, and subsequently a passenger riot over the sudden appearance of 400 BSoD's

Posted by Antagonist (Member # 484) on :

Aye. Thanks for emailing Boeing to answer my question, Ritten.

I once lost my MCDonalds order to a Windows OS. Apparently the local MD's uses a Win OS and it crashed, wiping all of the orders that were recently made. I complained, but the manager was a soupnazi or somehting, and told me they had no computer record of my order (well no shit!) and I had no receipt (they NEVER give you one!).

Of course what could I expect from a place with a small sign near the sanitization sink that says "Employees: Washing hands is optional but suggested by the Department of Health."

------------------
A wise man once said:
"The most dangerous man is the one with nothing more to lose."
Obviously the wise man didn't consider that a man with everything to lose could be equally as dangerous.
