Regardless, the protip is: don't windows for critical systems.
Wrong lesson. Windows was used, but was not necessary. The lesson here is to reinforce the airgap with restrictions on who and how software and hardware is connected to critical systems. No critical system should be connected to anything other than it's own closed system unless there is an absolutely unavoidable reason (such as code repair). Where the system must be disturbed, nothing that connects to the protected system should be unexamined prior to connection, and the examination should be meticulously performed, by qualified personnel (and there should always be a lab-duplicate upon which all such events are dry-runned).
