A bit newer (2016), but by far not current: https://space.stackexchange.com/questions/13539/which-operating-systems-is-the-international-space-station-running (The nice part about this internet thing is that there are search engines -- no, not Google, use that other one ;-) The answer is, as always, more nuanced. The question "which OS is the ISS running" is so naïve as the question "which kind of cell is your organism made of". Well, duh, many kinds, of course :-) The ISS is up there since 1998. Computers have changed a bit since then. And then, you have life support systems, steering and navigation, tons of scientific instruments and yes, probably entertainment, too. Cheers -- t
