Not sure if will replace just yet as the industry has a very robust tried and tested approach and rightly so when safety is concerned. Yes the Russian set-up is older than Windows XP, but they keep on updating and patching it. When you view it like that, it works. Now that all said, yes some competition is needed and SpaceX can only be a good thing. But even if the better solution on many levels, including politics. It is still a very young platform that will take a few a bit more time to get that level of not only knowing that it works. But also knowing what can go wrong. It is often in engineering better to have a part that you know exactly how it will fail than a better part that you do not know exactly how it will fail. That is what separates safely engineering design in contrast to IT people who are more conditioned to new is better mentality. So when you read about some 8 bit system running on a bit of kit that your dad would of deemed old, it is not because the latest is better, it is because it just works and all possible fault outcomes have been worked out fully.
