So now anytime somebody writes a bad program that happens to run on Windows it is automatically Microsoft's fault?
Exactly how is any of this Microsoft's fault? AFAIK, Microsoft doesn't make Air traffic control software, another company does. Bad programmers exists in the Unix, Linux, and Mac worlds too. Why was the Unix system replaced then if it was already perfect? Why wasn't the problem just fixed in the first place? Just another example of a so called news reporter twisting the facts around just so they can mention Microsoft and get people to read an otherwise insignificant news article. Rupert Goodwins just proves he lacks any credibility by writing things like this.
