There was a story in the news several years ago about a US Navy destroyer that had to be towed back to port because its engine controls system was run under Windows and Microsoft SQL server... crashed... left the ship dead in the water. I am sure the Navy will not forget that incident any time soon. And if it happened in war time? I wouldn't even want to think of what that would have meant. _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
