Oh well, they are using W2K, so it aint as scary as if they'd use Me, NT or CE (normally known as CEMENT).If there's artificial intelligence, there's bound to be some artificial stupidity.

It was more than a few.... it was nearly 6 years ago.
The US Navy Standardized Win2K back then...The Royal Navy is trying to standardize.
Speaking of standardization; even the hardware is standardized, which means you can build customized installations of Windows free of common issues which commonly plague sysprep and other deployment solutions which need to support a wide array of different hardware types. These are "combat appliances" which happen to run a customized version of Windows 2000.
It is far easier to be a pundit than a problem solver; and he is most definitely grinding an axe. He's credited himself as a UDT diver, who knows full well than no Submarine leaves a foreign port without a physical inspection of the hull by a diver.
No commissioned ship will be without a Watch aboard; the Computers aboard are all built according to best practices. Which means no floppy drives, CD-ROMs or other storage attachments are permitted in unsecured areas. Even in the secure areas, the automounting of disk drives and other normally "active" features of Windows are disabled. The secure areas of the ship are behind lock and key; and these are not the sorts of locks and keys someone makes copies of; mostly because the blanks are non-standard, secondly the Watch commander at the time happens to have them in his control.Hey, Donny! We got us a German who wants to die for his country... Oblige him. - Lt. Aldo RaineComment
