It runs most of our office and domestic computers - but should it be trusted 
with matters of life and death?

The Ministry of Defence has chosen the Windows operating system for the 
war-fighting computers of the Royal Navy's latest destroyers.

But a combat-systems expert from the company designing the technology says 
`Windows 2000' is neither reliable nor secure enough for the job.

==============

"We are not for names, nor men, nor titles of Government, nor are we for
this party nor against the other but we are for justice and mercy and
truth and peace and true freedom, that these may be exalted in our
nation, and that goodness, righteousness, meekness, temperance, peace
and unity with God, and with one another, that these things may abound."
(Edward Burroughs, 1659 - from 'Quaker Faith and Practice')
