Spanking new $4.5 billion costing aircraft carrier runs ..  Windows XP

A group of journalists got a tour on the newest British aircraft carrier, the HMS Queen Elizabeth. This Royal Navy pride costs around $4.5 billion, during the tour the journalists noticed something - the vunerable and unsupported Windows XP is running on it's computers.

Actuallty several displays in the control room of the ship run Windows XP noticed The Guardian and The Times.

“When you buy a ship, you don’t buy it today, you bought it 20 years ago,” according to Mark Deller, commander air on the Queen Elizabeth. He also notes that the specifications of the ship are what was good then, but that there’s always spare capacity in mind.

In the near future there will be upgrade and maybe some of them are already performed, according to Deller. The Royal Navy aircraft carrier has been in developed for nearly 20 years. The ship will also have a team of cyber specialists onboard that the have the capability of defending against hacks, according to Lt Cmdr Nick Leeson, senior warfare officer.

Actually, no. When they press the button to launch the missiles, it'll just BSOD.

We're saved.

I know why but i can't say, just certain types of software doesn't play nice with W7 onwards. One would think developing software again from scratch would be better but hey budget cuts.
