FAA Upgrades To Windows 7, System Crashes
Wednesday, December 9th, 2009The entire continental United States air traffic control system was brought to a halt Sunday morning just minutes after the Federal Aviation Administration completed an upgrade from Windows Vista to Windows 7, according to a press release issued by the agency Monday. According to release, the decision to upgrade was made after watching 2 months’ worth of Windows 7 and Apple commercials on CNN. ”So we may be a little late to the game,” said operations director Annabelle Crumbsworth. ”I mean, we are a government agency. But let’s be honest, that Mac guy is a little bit smug. I’ve always wanted to see the look on his face when the PC guy finally upstages him, and Windows 7 looked like the first legitimate chance. But after installing it and having the entire flight plan system shut down on me, I can say with confidence that I am not a PC, and Windows 7 was not my idea. Okay, so maybe the idea to install it was.”
