Story: Microsoft software implicated in air traffic shutdown
Posted by: Marty Fried (Saturday 18 September 2004, 12:36 AM)
This story implies that this was a problem caused by a Microsoft System. But it sounds like a bug in the application running on the system, which could happen on any system. A unix program with a memory leak would probably eventually crash, too.
I know of people who keep Windows itself running much longer than 30 days at a time. So did this really have anything to do with Microsoft? If not, the story is poorly written.
