Wasn't there a plan based on QNX back in the GateMiga days?


Yes and No.  They announced it, though the actual plan was to use BeOS until 3 days before the show when the worlds dumbest CEO (Jean-Louis Gassée) decided to not partner with Gateway. The virtual same story happened during the proposed Apple buyout of Be.   So QNX was a quick replacement, its a nice OS, I've used it a couple of embedded systems over the years.  After that the idea changed to a Linux kernal instead and then we had most of the Gateway gang being fired.
