Is the Space Station running Windows?

HOUSTON (Reuters) - Spacewalking astronauts aim to repair a damaged thermal blanket on the space shuttle Atlantis on Friday as U.S. and Russian controllers struggle with a worrying computer failure on the International Space Station.

I wonder how old the hardware is up there? Scarey business.

It's old Russian stuff, probably with its roots in the Soviet era.
