Hello again David I don't often see Pharlap mentioned in the journals,so the following quote caught my eye. It seems Mr. Smith doesn't share your view of NT and CE. Maybe you could talk with him for comfort.Maybe your close attention to help wanted ads means your disagreements run deeper ? NT is having less success in deployed embedded systems than it is in tools. The real-time industry says neither NT nor CE is truly real-time. Moreover, critics say, they are bigger than most embedded kernels and OSes, and not reliable enough for critical apps or consumer products. "NT is different from the real-time operating systems, which are ROM-able," said Richard Smith, president of Phar Lap Software Inc. (Cambridge). "For applications where you can afford to put a hard-disk drive in the system, NT is OK. But then you're looking at $1,500 systems, and expensive hardware like that means a low-volume product."
