Indeed, this is the sort of fiasco Microsoft wishes that money could buy. "I'm a PC ... because Windows DOESN'T wipe all your data without asking first. " But I think your comment is still vast overkill. The fact is, I get really, really worried every time I see a BSOD'd airline departures board or worse, an ATM booting up Windows (usually Win 2000). Don't these people know?! That there's another OS out there called (GNU/)Linux and it's fast and free and doesn't have a long tradition of crap engineering? And then I see this and remember that while Linux is (mostly) well-engineered, it has all sorts of equally well-engineered, completely unmarked "self-destruct" buttons. And if there's anything scarier than Windows near airplanes, it has to be Windows users near Linux near airplanes.
