Nothing that runs a Windows OS is suitable for safety-of-life
applications. This is no reflection on Windows; it's just that the
operating system is designed for general information processing use in
homes, offices, and schools ... not for process control, real-time
systems, or mission-critical applications.

Sorry, but you're not quite familiar with the embedded versions of the O/Ss,
so you really can't make that sort of statement with any kind of
certainty... The embedded versions are a completely different beast than the
consumer versions... I might not like Windows, but at least I recognize that
there is a difference between the embedded stuff and the consumer stuff...
