Companies that design windows into embedded equipment can fuck off.
We had a spectrum analyzer popping up "ur shit is fucked, download pc cleaner deluxe by clicking OK" bullshit at my last job.
A lot of radiation oncology systems run on a windows OS. It does make things a lot easier to manage and if your network engineer is worth his shit he can lock down critical systems like that from any web browsing that isn't vendor software update related. It made our managing of a nationwide collection of radonc clinics a lot more feasible without onsite support stationed in each region. A lot of CTs and other imaging systems are going that way too, even though the defacto standard on those is still custom *nix shells.
