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).
