There nothing stopping this project from using a custom Linux distribution with a custom Kernel. The distribution could be customized by region to reduce the size. The open source modular concept seems much more attractive for this kind of project than any flavor of Windows with all of its attached baggage.
I am looking forward to what they cook up next year. Since they hit us over the head this year with pink ponies, I wonder what they could possibly come up next year. Usually you would expect next years joke to top this years. To the whiners: I bet you are going to be right here with the rest of us hitting the reload button on slashdot to see what is going to pop up.
That may be the case, but it doesn't explain the theory that is proposed that the the nemesis star is of a similar size to our sun. Also, could the gravitational pull from a star tens of light years away explain this. Seems far fetched at best.
