Hi Brian

Wind's products are used in anti-lock brakes, jet engines, air traffic control towers, Mars roving vehicles, military operations, etc where crashing and re-booting is not an option.

the company chose to make strategic investments in Oracles's NCI? now Liberate and Zinc software for GUI, which I thought was for the sole purpose of launching an embedded software counterattack on Redmond.

No they have not marketed their reliability, small footprint kernal and other advantages to which those more technically proficient could allude.

FWIW, I do not see them ever being friends with MSFT unless they decided to become digested by it. They may not be capitalized well enough for what I suggest but IMHO they should be carving out a space in the RTOS that clearly shows there inherent advantages against a respected and despised bully.
