Hmmmm. But as that article says nothing to indicate the accident
was at all related to the instrumentation software, I think it is
more likely Bill Gates was hiding in the luggage compartment
sabotaging the wiring. The article supports that conclusion
just as readily.
I think it is a bit more likely that a general power failure is
hardware related, not software related. That is particularly
true with how aerospace systems are designed.
