You might put that question to the experimenters on the Yahoo group
listed at the very bottom of www.MyGlassCockpit.com

based on a 12v mini-PC and 12v LCD display. I plan to use one of
the commercially available navigation software packages and an input
from my GPS to drive it.
Question: Any experience with operating systems in this
environment? I am aware of the altitude issues with hard drives but
have not been privy to any operating system discussions. One
popular software package comes ported on either Windows CE or
Windows XPHome. I'm told that XP Home is more robust and less crash
prone but that it routinely swaps files with its memory which means
(I had never heard this one before) that it will "wear out" a flash
card used as a solid state memory in a certain number of swap
operations. For that reason, I was advised to go with a ruggedized
HD and XP Home, not with a flash card and CE as I was originally planning.
Any experience and/or comments on this challenge?
