QNX Beats Wind River and Microsoft in RTOS Shootout

[blubbe]

Future will tell if they will run Intent on top of QNX.

Will be interesting to see, if it was worth it, going the
TAO route. In the short-term atleast, QNX looks much better. To begin with It has alot Amiga-feel,
and migrating from AmigaOS to it seems pretty simple. It also runs on PPC and x86 NOW.
And it has mem-protection. Will the obvious proove
wrong ?

Whats happening in the real world ?

RTOS means some lowlevel operations (Im too tired to find the names of them) takes exactly a certain amount of time to execute, or they can be guarantied
to be inside a certain timeframe. Atleast thats what I
remember it as. Ofcource that doesnt have to have
anythiong to do with desktop use, it isnt very relevant.

QNX probably sees some chance of extra cache
from the desktop, and if it doesnt make money.. whatever, they have their other embedded buissiness, where they came from in the beginning.

QNX seemed very enthusiastic about Amiga, alot more than TAO. They even got together with Phase5
at one stage, when the current owners went after
Linux I think it was.

Well, TAO gets some free bug-testing by Amiga developers atleast
 ;-)

It IS quite strange how many seems to share fleecys dream, while not even knowing what it is, and without any realistic and sensible arguments at all.

Sure, its all so simple, just port a little cpu.layer and
world-domination here we come.  :-D  :-D
