I submit Bob's comments as evidence to support my conclusion regarding
the undesirability of using Windows as the underlying operating system
for a radar system.
There are thousands of people using these Windows based systems, who
claim they are happy with the systems. I don't doubt that. But before
you buy into this Windowed Nirvana don't ever forget that PC based
systems with their precarious operating systems were never intended to
run mission critical applications. And somewhere in the fine print there
is generally some disclaimer about doing so.
So, go right ahead and bet your life on Windows. As backup equipment,
yes, but not the only system on the boat.
Regards,
Mike
