Microsoft Shuts Down Nearly All Southern California Air Traffic

Microsoft Shuts Down Nearly All Southern
California Air Traffic
09/17/2004 02:31 PM

Whoops. Having just flown back from southern California this past weekend from the DEMOmobile conference, I'm glad this "glitch" didn't happen until Tuesday. Apparently, there was a "radio breakdown" that left almost all air traffic in SoCal without guidance. The culprit? Microsoft. Apparently, the air traffic control system being used is now run on Microsoft, after recently replacing a Unix-based system. Just one problem: the system needs to be rebooted every 30 days to avoid a "data overload," and someone forgot to manually run the reboot. Beyond the shock of discovering that this air traffic control system can't handle very much data, you have to wonder why the reboot system can't be automated, or at least have a "reminder" go off at some point.
