While I have my share of horror stories with WinX malware (if it installs even despite an explicit refusal, it doesn't deserve a more charitable title), running critical systems (literal life support?!) on a desktop OS is irresponsible bordering on criminal, IMNSHO. Even MSFT has embedded and server OS lines for that.

If you knew the sheer scope and extent of what the US DoD runs on desktop Windows, you'd have a heart attack.
