Which operating system/systems is currently being used in spacecrafts? Was
FlightLinux implemented as the standard? Any information you can provide
would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

The shuttle carries a number of laptop computers that run on Windows variants
(I'm not sure if the latest version is Win98 or Win2k). The ISS uses Solaris, I
think.

Nit: Those laptops are used *on* spacecraft, not *in* spacecraft, as
they are not used for control, but for administrative tasks.
