But they are silly enough to use windows on the shuttle and ISS which requires
some much crew time and handholding and bug/problems reports and support,
especially on shuttle missions where every minute of crew time is so valuable.
They waste so much because of windows problems.
Aren't the documents sent as PDF files ? Of not, they should. And it is really
silly to have ground manually move outlook internal format files back and
forth. How many time have they lost time "synching" because those files are
still locked by OUtlook/windows requiring someone end whatever they were doing
to reboot the machine and then have ground wait before the laptop has rebooted ?
