Forgive me if I doubt.


The factories that develop and manufacture the CPU chip you likely
have in your computer run on MSwin (formerly on various flavors of
Unix/Linux/***x). In an application where downtime costs US$2M
per hour, not a decision taken lightly.


The factory that developed and manufactured the CPU chip I have in my
computer was in Hudson, MA, and shut down in 2003.
