Why use it for running a nuclear power station though, all its features are worthless, surely an embedded system or totally custom code would be far better.
It's WinCC that has expired not Windows... say so in the article in the linkWindows does report license expiry like that does it?
Doesn't that suggest that the license for the software itself has expired (not for the OS)?
Or its BS.
Also echo M$ Windows != OS for Nuclear Reactor!

The OP needs to update his post.
Indeed, however the ATM crashed when i was using it. very interesting seeing windows XP booting up on an ATM.You are aware a rather large number of cash machines run on Windows? You are aware that "Windows" is a **** lot more than just the pretty interface you see?
What would you suggest then?
Windows has successfully been deployed in multiple safety critical situations without incident.
Any of the others but Windows, imho.My previous post was based on the (incorrect ?) information that it was a standard version of Windows.
Yes, I know, but personally, were I to choose, Windows (XP/Vista) would not even be close to the top of the list. Based on what i know from my own personal experiences of Windows (XP/Vista) and from articles and other people. Linux/BSD would be up there, definitely.
As has already been said, a thin client/minimum/heavily customised version of Windows would be more suitable.
It's not Windows. It's WinCC by Siemens.
this.
Microsoft aren't legally allowed to sell a Windows licence to Iran.
