"Charles said that Bill Gates is also preparing to visit space," cosmonaut Fyodor Yurchikhin told journalists during a video link-up from the space station, broadcast on state television Rossiya.

LOL! NO WAY in the world would someone put windows on a space shuttle! Anyway, Unix/Linux is much more scalable and can be used for specialised purposes.. The only reason why they'd put windows on a space shuttle is so that the astronaughts/cosmonaughts can play solitaire or minesweeper

Imagine the scenario if the space shuttle ran on windows! 5 mins after launch: "huston we have a problem! windows just updated and is asking us to reboot"

Nope, just select "reboot later", install all the updates u got & continue doing your work. All updates are installed at one go & it doesn't need intermidiate boots.
