The best bit is at the end of the article:

``If it all works, there are plans to use Windows 
for the command system on the submarines that carry 
Britain's nuclear deterrent.''

Anyone want to post a Knoppix disk up to Faslane ;-)

More practically, does anyone know the Gerald Wilson
who blew the whistle on them, or have any idea of 
the contractors for whom he used to work? He should
be the first point of contact for more information on
the whole thing.

It's certainly something worth kicking up a fuss about -
if we have to have these weapons of mass destruction
we can at least have them under the reliable control
of Free Software - however unreliable the political
control is.
