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)

Trek : Main comupter achieves self awareness, goes megalomanical and tries to conquer the galaxy.

Wars : Onboard security systems fail, and droids download Sith historical archives and ritually sacrifice the organic crew to the Dark Side.

And then the MS support will really give them the royal treatment. Put them on hold with Celine Dion music mixed with Barney for 36 hours straight. Enough to make even the toughest Sith beg for mercy.

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

Windows might actually be ideal for the Empire to use. They certainly have the raw processing power to waste, and all those backdoors for the Emperor to use in case of disloyalty...

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/

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 :lol: .
"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 XP strain could crash a Culture mind :wink:
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".
