Vikk, с интересом почитал комментарии к указанной выше статье. :D
Well at least it makes any linux penguins scare the hell out, having some microsoft sub-nukes below their polar caps :)
I'm not sure if this gives me a safer feeling.
Altough i wouldnt say linux would be safer, perhaps aple could be.. but win2000 thats quite old, they will loose MS support on their nuclear fleet soon.
And what about the future when Windows 2000 and XP security is no longer supported? (Which by the look of it is right around the bend)
How much will it cost to upgrade the system then?
Windows has a great history in naval use:

"The source of the problem on the Yorktown was that bad data was fed into an application running on one of the 16 computers on the LAN. The data contained a zero where it shouldn't have, and when the software attempted to divide by zero, a buffer overrun occurred -- crashing the entire network and causing the ship to lose control of its propulsion system."
