Neither. You young'uns seem to forget that the shuttle was orbiting in 1981; four years before Windows ('84) and ten years before Linux ('91).
The STS Orbiter uses a gang of computers capable of voting out malfunctioning computers. The code is in a high level custom language called HAL/S running on IBM AP-101 general-purpose avionic computers.
The STS Orbiter control software is arguably the most 'perfectly bug-free' block of code in existence.

Yeah, Columbia blew up because there was a hole in the left wing because of foam from the external tank hitting it during lift off. Engineers saw it and requested the administration to do something like this, To check the shuttle. They said no because it would be to expensive, and cause further delays. 9000 degree plasma entered the hole during re-entry, causing the landing gear tires to explode and a chair reaction through the orbiter. 7 lives later, lesson finally learned.
