BillsWatch Posted November 17, 2005 Posted November 17, 2005 During a demonstration of a heavy-lifting robot that can carry a person weighing up to 220 pounds, the machine appeared to want to dump its cargo - a model in a leather miniskirt and calf-high boots posing for TV cameras. Oh Jun-ho, director of the government-funded Humanoid Robot Research Center, blamed the error on the computer used to control the robot. It was running Microsoft Corp. (MSFT)'s Windows operating system, which Oh said wasn't always very stable. Not to be outdone, Albert Hubo chipped in with a chuckle to break the tension. http://apnews.myway.com//article/20051117/D8DTSJQG0.html Who should be blamed? The company which made the computer software or the people who CHOOSE the operating system KNOWING it is faulty?

Last I checked, MS Windows is not designed to operate a heavy-lifting robot off-the-shelf.
