Bill Gates to go into SPACE !?
The world's richest man Bill Gates is considering a possible flight into space, a Russian cosmonaut said from International Space Station Wednesday, citing Gates' colleague, current space tourist Charles Simonyi.
"Charles said that Bill Gates is also preparing to visit space," cosmonaut Fyodor Yurchikhin told journalists during a video link-up from the space station, broadcast on state television Rossiya.

LOL! NO WAY in the world would someone put windows on a space shuttle! Anyway, Unix/Linux is much more scalable and can be used for specialised purposes.. The only reason why they'd put windows on a space shuttle is so that the astronaughts/cosmonaughts can play solitaire or minesweeper
Imagine the scenario if the space shuttle ran on windows! 5 mins after launch: "huston we have a problem! windows just updated and is asking us to reboot"

Re: Bill Gates to go into SPACE !?
Even vista asks for reboot after each update.

Nope, just select "reboot later", install all the updates u got & continue doing your work. All updates are installed at one go & it doesn't need intermidiate boots.
