Wow, this is one of the worst articles I've ever seen. Aside from the obviously false information about Windows 3.1 and Windows 95 mentioned in other comments, the article just drops in this statement at the end:
"This is also precisely why military aircraft, like the Air Force One, still use needles, dials, and gauges—you cannot beat the reliability of older systems that have already been put through the wringer."
Gonna need a citation for that! The two jets used for Air Force One are based on the 747-200, which was one of the very early 747 models, so of course it predates glass cockpits. The reason isn't "precisely" because analogue gauges are more reliable, it's because of the plane's age. Look at all military aircraft development and you'll see they use the technology of the era. The replacement for the current VC-25 (Air Force One) aircraft will be based on the 747-8, and you better believe they'll have the glass cockpits now in use in the latest 747s.
