And we all no they never make mistakes, nor do the people who build them and write software for them.
A point worth making for sure, but remember that avionics software is held to a much higher standard than most software. Because the software is directly responsible for human life, and the developer held accountable for failures, they test the shit out of it before even thinking about possibly building a release at some point int he future. But only after more testing.
Should have also said that I believe we're now in the era of multi-device, as more people have a tablet and a smartphone, either instead of or alongside the more traditional PC and/or laptop.
There are many bugs that would easily be detected by actually using the application on a daily basis.
I don't know about you, but I don't have a pressing need to know what some ice-cream trucks in Switzerland are doing at a particular moment in time (The system I work on is fleet vehicle tracking and management). I have more important things to do, like watch TV or play games.

Yeah but the US president deserves a nobel peace prize just because he's black? What an achievement!
To be fair, I think it was actually because he isn't Bush.

Seriously, I'd like to see that study.
The only way to win is not to play (by their rules).
I'm going to decide on my own which patents merit respect and which don't, and infringe and infringe and infringe....
... resulting in filing for bankruptcy within a couple of years.
Raspberry Pi.
That wasn't running avionics. That, and the passenger count was zero. Not to mention it was a mix up of units, not a software failure.

The weird thing is the Spanish Inquisition always gave 30 days notice.
Apologies for spoiling the joke.
How much of that is WP, and how much is the hardware itself? I ask as people often confuse the two.
I see the Android/iOS fanboy armies have united in a common cause. OK, the parent is probably gushing a little, but he has a valid point.

It would be one of the signs of the Apocalypse.

The era of the home PC is over.
FTFY.
The market won't disappear of course, because of hobbyist developers, gamers, etc.
Last few printers I installed on Windows:
1. Connect printer
2. Windows Update churns for a few minutes
3. Use printer
I can see why you're struggling - it's obviously only possible with a PhD in quantum printing interface dynamics.

You must be incredibly lucky to have a test department with millions of machines with every conceivable variation in environment possible.
AAA? :)
... they should bring back the Amazon Women on the Moon.
No, women are from Venus.
That's what they want you to think...
As soon as the US authorities stop violating basic rights.
We also stuck a flag on it. So finders keepers.
The UK stuck its flag on what is now the USA, and look how that turned out.
Thanks for the apples to thermonuclear warheads comparison.

A smart algorithm would have tried to sell me suncream or a cool hat that would look good with the glasses.
Or an album by ZZ Top.
You mean you agree someone should be thrown in jail because a few flights got delayed?
I found one that isn't :)
