Hello all,

I stumbled across an interesting web site which contains a list of the various
types of tasks that VxWorks is used for. From what I can gather, it looks like
this list was put together by a guy who does consulting in the RTOS and networking
industry. It's kind of a hodge-podge of items, but I thought it might give a good
idea of the breadth of applications of VxWorks:
