but at least you CAN unit-test any GPL'ed software

See, the cool thing is that at least you CAN unit test anything you want. Say you want *proven* mission critical system? Get Linux and hire someone to unit test every last bit of it. At least you CAN do that. That's cool :).
Now, try to do that with Windows. Heck, even if MS says they did it, would you trust it, with them lying (a fact) in court and all that?
Mind you, unit testing is not a panacea. If you have studied any CS at all, unit testing is a good strategy but it doesn't guarantee mission critical software by any means. Many bugs exist within high level interactions between the actual units.
