News articles of interest The Navy's Smart Ship program is meant to reduce the number of people needed to operate a ship. For some reason, they depend on Windows NT, with predictable results: the USS Yorktown died in the water when its network of NT machines experienced a cascading failure due to a divide by zero.

Says Ron Redman, deputy technical director of the Fleet Introduction Division of the Aegis Program Executive Office: "Because of politics, some things are being forced on us that without political pressure we might not do, like Windows NT... If it were up to me I probably would not have used Windows NT in this particular application. If we used Unix, we would have a system that has less of a tendency to go down."
