Windows for Submarines has now "shipped"

No ... I ain't posted in the wrong forum, it's not a game, or is it?

Oh, and I don't suffer from dyslexia ... the title is correct.

Anyone wanna play Battleships for real ... hang on, I'll just hack into my sub & take control.

British Navy submarine captains are the only officers worldwide (as of the mid 90s or so) to have the independent right to launch nuclear missiles if they lose contact with the Admiralty.

Eek An interesting find Mucks!

I'd be interested to know what sort of stuff is powered my Windows XP on the sub (although we'll never find out) - I suspect it's probably being used as a DB server and totally disconnected from anything important.

It does remind me of this advert though, which makes me cringe so much everytime I see it:

Do you think that guy was in charge of HMS Vanguard a few weeks back?

I have to say, I love the comment that a user has posted (from the link that Mucks shared with us)

BSOD? ... I would hope that they've at least made it the Yellow Submarine of Death
