That's the reason you find windows for accountants, but no one uses windows for complex systems that have to be stable, reliable and maintainable.

Like how the international space station ditched Windows for Linux because "...we needed an operating system that was stable and reliable – one that would give us in-house control.” or how NASA used Linux for the Mars helicopter.
