Please read the story, your slip is showing. The plane wasn’t running any windows OS and the accident wasn’t caused by the malware. The accident was pilot error.

Thank you, your assumption that I did not read the story is incorrect. You are reading far too much into this, driftdiver. No slip here. The story referred to the fact that the software failed to warn that a human error was occurring. That software failure was not detected due to the fact that the ground based test equipment was infected by a trojan. The concatation of events led to, or contributed to the disaster.

Quit defending Microsoft for their software errors of the past.

So the computer would have warned the pilots that they forgot to set the flaps?

That is incorrect. Pilot error caused the accident, not a computer.
