Star trek- extend the holo deck and slaughter everyone on board, self destruct etc...
SW- shut down shields, weapons and artificial gravity. (Based on the hacks performed in the X-wing series)

Klingons have agonizer-sticks. It's the Terran Empire that has Agonizer Booth technology.

Windows would not be ideal for any Star Wars ship that was even using an ounce of engine power:
"InertialCompensator52.exe has committed an illegal operation and must shut down. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
=Okay="
And then the full force of thousands of Gs of acceleration is brought to bear on the ship/

According to wikipedia, "the Mohorovičić discontinuity is the boundary between the Earth's crust and the mantle."
According to Starbound, it's a problem solvable with enough combat drugs to turn you into the Incredible Hulk.

In Star Wreck V: Lost Contact captain Pirk used Windows 95 to disable the Korg cube's ability to adapt, and Win95 was described as being the most destructive computer virus ever created, so I guess we have canon evidence that Windows has a devastating effect on Trek systems .
"Death before dishonour" they say, but how much dishonour are we talking about exactly? I mean, I can handle a lot. I could fellate a smurf if the alternative was death.

The Borg were probably so succesful because they used a grid based Unix to pool all their computing power together, thus increasing in power expotentially until "Windows is futile".
