I'll try to give you a layman's view of their products. They make a Real-time Operating System for embedded system applications. It is very Unix-like (read pretty easy for a programmer who is used to Unix programming to adapt to). They market a complete cross-develoment package (i.e., you build the code on one system, say a SPARC Solaris, and then either burn PROMs or download the software to the target system, say an Intel i960 embedded system). Their latest release, Tornado, has a lot of GUI tools included with it. FWIW, we use their VxWorks operating system with a Sparc Solaris host and an Intel i960 target system (our own hardware) and build frame relay access devices. Overall, I'm pretty happy with VxWorks. There's a Usenet newsgroup for the VxWorks operating system, comp.os.vxworks. It's pretty technical but you may get an idea of what people think. Hope that was clear enough.
