    What if Master Control in Redmond decides to reboot your machine
to install an update?  They've been known to do that even when you
thought you had remote update turned off.

    If you have to run Windows in a data acquistion application,
you should be running Windows Embedded.  See

	http://www.microsoft.com/windowsembedded

This is a version of Windows 7 which comes with a tool for
building customized boot images.  Basically, you take out
everything except what your application needs.

     Do you get Embedded Systems Journal?  You should.
