Mark, yet another of for your pieces of misinformation, you wrote:

If you read the original EE Times article (DID you read it, Mark?) you will find that it was the author of the article, NOT Pauline Schumann, who made the proclamation that development tools make the money, not run-time licenses. Here is the paragraph in question:
"This is quite an amazing opportunity for us-it's mind boggling," said Pauline Shulman, product manager at WindRiver. "We have a license that puts IxWorks in every I/O processor Intel makes. Right now, that's the i960, but the license is for anything Intel calls an I/O processor." However, the firm will make its money from selling tools,not real-time licenses...
Notice, Mark, that the quotes END after the word "processor". That signals the end of the statement made by Pauline. The sentence AFTER the end of the quotation is attributed to the author, Terry Costlow, who does not work for Wind River, and who's qualifications for making such a statement are unknown.
The entire text of this EE Times article was provided by Mitchell Jones in post #1133 on May 26th.
Of course, I realize that you will simply ignore this, as you do all your misrepresentations, errors, and omissions.
