Windows Even if you love it, there are some things for which Windows is clearly a silly solution. Richard Stiennon lists 10 of the worst uses of Windows he's seen, including using it to display a static green arrow over the open TSA security lanes at Detroit Metro.

The most stupid use of Windows that I'm aware of: US Navy used windows on an SSBN in a test. The machine blue screened in the middle of the harbor (Norfrolk, Va.). The submarine stopped all operations while the computer was rebooted. Thank God it wasn't at test depth. or at station during a launch against a real threat.
