Windows in a shuttle computer is the most disappointingly dumbass thing NASA has done yet. I say yet because if they'll do something that dumb it clearly needs to have a glass ceiling.
It’s a personal device. Nothing related to the mission.
Doesn't seem to be what this article says
Sounds like Microsoft products are running on the same hardware as critical systems are
That's because the article left it out intentionally. It was on a personal surface pro.
If you intentionally misinterpret it like you are trying to lawyer some cracks in the story, then yeah it does.
Seems pretty clear to me from the “…primary flight systems will run on specialized radiation-hardened hardware and rigorously maintained software” that they’re separate systems.
