I thought this was going to be another article about investment bankers and the financial meltdown.
Just saying. John Corzine has been in the news recently.
If an Android tablet actually comes out in the US for $100 or less, it won't matter whether the iPad is snappy or sluggish. What will matter is that for the cost of the cheapest iPad, one could buy five (5) of these. Heck, I'd buy one for each of my two teenaged boys (my wife already has an iPad2, a gift from her father) AND one for myself. Plus, two more to keep on the shelf as backup gifts for people.
Had I managed to get any HP Touchpads at $99 before they ran out I would have bought as many as I could get my hands on.
For me at least, at $100 these are practically disposable.
Pretty sure this isn't news.
I hear they get all kinds of free food.
I may be wrong about this, but as I read it, the term "operating systems" (plural) seems to refer to the systems that actually operate the nuclear plant. Your question would make sense to me if the original article had read, "operating system" (singular).
Having said all that, I would guess Windows.
SUA was once called SFU (Services For UNIX), and it replaces the built-in POSIX subsystem which has been an integral part of NT since NT 3.1.
The built-in POSIX subsystem alone was basically useless as shipped, since it came without many command line utilities, but SFU (now SUA) upgraded it to a more or less useful configuration, including a series of commands built to use the API; in some ways it accomplished the same thing as Cygwin, but in a different way.
In my opinion, Cygwin is vastly better since it contains more utilities, is more aggressively maintained and updates are more frequent.
Even better:

I believe they also came up with things like Duc Tape, velcro, and plastics.
It's called "duct" tape, as in, "air conditioning ducts" (as in those rectangular stainless steel air conduits used in forced air HVAC systems), and it existed long before there ever was a shuttle -- nevermind space -- program.
