...The risk is one more place to look for bugs and make exploits.
And let's not forget, the GPU these days is more or a less a small computer
physically attached to a the larger computer, a small computer which it has
direct and full access to all system RAM.
Not to mention it literally sees everything you're doing.
Translation: It CAN steal personal information and it probably CAN corrupt
your harddrive and, if not blow something up, at least crash the system
pretty thoroughly.
And if that system happened to be flying a plane.. ..Then I say something has
definately gone wrong in the plane design department.. XD
Then again, hell, once upon a time they used Windows NT to run cash registers
and bank terminals, who knows what's going on in planes these days. =P
And again: I'm being overly paranoid here. =x
