@l12g2000cwl.googlegroups.com:

Here in Sweden we have seen a lot of clips from Mission Control Center,
Mission Launch Center and from Flight Control. I wonder what kind of
computers are in use and what operating system they are using?

Mainly DEC Alpha workstations running Unix for the critical tasks, PCs
running Windows (on a separate network) for the non-critical tasks.

The DECs are quite obsolete (two mergers ago...) and NASA is looking at
replacing them with PCs running Linux.
