I love this headline - reminds me of Windows for Workgroups aka Windows 3.11 - including this great comment from El Reg:

A lot of customers keep buying from Microsoft, however. One may want to deploy a particular kind of hardware, perhaps used only by a few organizations. It may well be that you can only get the associated software from the hardware maker, and the vendor in question doesn't provide anything other than Windows-based machines.
One type of hardware where this is happening more and more is warships
Despite the obvious barbs about reliability of Windows, it's encouraging to see real mission critical deployments of Windows. These guys don't play around when it comes to testing and validation so it's a great endorsement IMHO.
