> In the overnight hours of Tuesday into Wednesday, FAA officials decided to shut down and reboot the main NOTAM system -- a significant decision, because the reboot can take about 90 minutes, according to the source.

90 minutes; this certainly appears to be an advertisement about Windows OS.



Or just a legacy UNIX with a lot of disks. I've seen PH-UX take over an hour to boot due to that.


(Just to be clear I meant specifically just enumerating SCSI LUNs, not fsck or anything like that)


I worked for an organization in the 1990s that ran a legacy IBM mainframe (later replaced with an AS/400). After an unplanned power outage, the disk confidence test and rebuild took over 1/2 day.


Forced upgrade on reboot, my personal favorite.


Or just waiting for thorough AV scan on boot.
