Medical equipment: I confirm. My cousin is an engineer for General Electric, Medical section. As far as I know he services cardiac echography equipment. From what he told me, they all run Windows. Of course, this isn't life threatening, but I do know he's hardware guy and it wouldn't be the first time he calls me for a software problem in his job.

While not in this case, a BSOD may mean real "D" these days in a hospital.... Sad, but true...

While I agree this is questionable, I don't think they are connected to the internets (at least I hope not). So, the whole virus/worm fear is probably irrational.

I worked for hospitals and they are connected to the internet. The products from GE were so far behind in Windows updates and virus protection it was scary. We had to pull a couple of machines of the network for blasting out virus' several times.
