Funny alright, but not that big a deal I suppose. Any windows machine brought on board is probably only going to be conducting some simple stuff, and I'd imagine one of the primary reasons for bringing it on board is so the crew can surf the web and send & receive emails.

Certainly none of the critical system would stand even a remote chance of any kind of infection, and I'd imagine that even the machines they use for conducting experiments are heavily locked down and running some custom *nix variant.

The nt kernel in my opinion is better than the nix variant .
