Open-source Threat Hi Allen, Let's talk about something more specific. 3Com has IP radios based on Linux. Transmeta is coming out with web pads based on Linux. Intel is coming out with thin client PCs with Linux. AOL is going to ship thin client boxes with Linux as well. The truth with the web clients is how well does a platform support plug-ins. At this stage, besides Windows and Mac OS, nothing supports plug-ins better than Linux. If I were to make a thin client box that requires full web functionalities, I would not go with VxWorks. Addressing the plug-in issue is very difficult. It's not something that WRS can do by itself. It needs the support by traditional desktop developers such as Apple, Real Networks, Macromedia, Microsoft, and many more. Regards, Khan
