Like it or not. Microsoft windows and their other products have been a part of NASA space flight forever now. What do you think all those laptops up on the space station are running for their day to day work? Same thing you or I use on our work laptops for our day to day work. Of course this is for their day to day productivity work. Life support systems on space craft are not running on windows. But likely specialized controllers or embedded Linux PCS.
