<< The caution for WIND is that Moore's Law may very well blur the differentiation that WIND needs to compete in the same arena as CE. >>

As hardware gets faster and cheaper, applications get more complex. That has always been true. You can't discount the importance of a good OS just because hardware is going to get cheaper. In 5 years the hardware will be different, but so will the requirements for software.

I do agree that hard real-time requirements won't be much of a factor in Internet appliances. Fortunately, Wind River is jumping on the Java bandwagon much better than Microsoft is. I think Java will be very prevelant in the future. Java is wonderful, but most important is that most developers love Java.
