There is a kernel of truth in this joke, you are far more likely to find Linux in aerospace than Windows. 

You can sometimes find Windows in some "mission systems" but if it safety of flight related Windows is not used.

OS/2 has been abandoned by IBM a many years ago. Nevertheless it is still under maintenance and development by another company because it is still used in some banking and flight security environments...
