I don't think we need to use anyone's OS for our glass panel. The engine
instrumentation on GK Whip is a Grand RApids EIS, with its own processor and
solid state memory. I don't know if it can crash but GPFs etc don't exist. I
still think all we need is an ASI Altimeter and Compass. The rest can be solid
state with dedicated microprocessors.
