Yep, most of the monitors in airports run Win9x or 2K (better ones are
running 2K) with Matrox multihead video cards.

That is not the scary part of things.  That is only front end data
display.  The scary thing is that a lot of banks and airlines are now
using MS SQL server.  Several airports had delays and canceled flights
over the weekend due to the MS SQL worm.  And before anyone asks, yes, I
was flying this weekend, and thus have a first hand account of the
problem.  Only effected some airlines, but you could easily see it on the
displays at Newark international airport, on sunday.
