Microsoft Publication admits Windows Sucks

Slate (owned by MSN) wrote the following

The Army's Desktop Jockeys
Can information technology help the military win the war?
By Paul Boutin

In the article he writes --

"For reliability, Appliqué software runs on the Solaris operating system rather than Windows."

I thought that was sort of humorous given this is a MSN site.
Later they add..


"But lethal as it sounds, the system has yet to prove itself in the heat of desert battle. Appliqué computers are tested to withstand severe shock and sandstorm conditions, but one online poster claiming to be an Army captain calls FBCB2 "a very temperamental piece of equipment at its best." "
