Hi Khan: I don't have much spare time for posting these days, but the issue of PersonalJava/VxWorks has been bugging me for over a year, and it may be time for Wind to reevaluate their stance. Regarding Lineo (Leneo sic?), thanks for the IPO heads-up, I think that embedded Linux is the biggest opportunity that Wind faces, not challenge. They just have to recognise this. Why? Because VxWorks has been based on GPL technology all along (gcc, gdb, etc), and a move to embrace Linux would be smart. VxWorks could fit nicely on the same platform as Linux, handling the hard-real-time and device specific programming while Linux does the user/web stuff. I was surprised that their Cirrus product didn't use any Linux technology, nor does it seem focused towards Linux inter-operability. I think this is a mistake, but is not irreversible. P.
