If Bill started his own Commercial airline how many of you guys (and gals) would feel confident in putting your life in his hands? :oP

Depends on who is the pilot, and what OS the plane uses ?
If it's Windows then I would have doubts (especially if its a fly by wire plane !!)
If it's a good old fashioned plane with manual controls then it would only be like flying a DOS plane, soit should be pretty stable and reliable, and I would be happy to fly with it.

at whatever risk factor meant the highest profit. Since crashes mean no more money, my two cents is that there wouldn't be many crashes. :)

There would be really long lines at the airport then, if you equated users of windows to passengers of windows. We hear all the funny stories from tech support. Just imagine the stories we would hear about people trying to fly their windows.

And hopefully the pilots will NOT have to use TECH NET to figure out a problem with the aircraft when it happens, because by the time they do....well then it wouldn't matter ;0

Like someone up above said, who is packing the parachutes>?

As long as Windows was not controlling the avionics, I would not have a problem.

Remember, that part of the reason that Windows is so bloated and buggy, is that Big Brother Bill continues to try and protect us from ourselves.

I am sure that one of the prime considerations for 'features' in each new version of Windows is what things to 'automate', or disable to reduce support calls because users changed a setting.

Of the airline would it be? A older more stable aircraft or a new buggy but slick looking one? Is there a Linux airline if so I want first class! HAHA what happens if they need to reboot the aircraft in midflight:)

How about the concept of being hit up for a ticket upgrade halfway or bailout without a chute, or sorry we are landing in detroit, New York will be in the next release.

by zlitocook

Upgrade now or you will have to pay more befor we land. Or we will let you be the last off the aircraft before it self explodes:) If bill gates gets a airline I will buy alot of stock in bus lines. Where is the Linux airlines?
