William,

Yep, the JavaOS is not ready for primetime. I don't expect
any of the RTOS companies to adopt it anytime soon. Most
of them will go instead the JVM route and add proprietary
extensions. WIND, INTS, and MWAR have already announced
products with the JVM.

Personally, I expect Sun to use JavaOS to compete
with the mainstream RTOS vendors in one to two years.
One of the things pushing them into the RTOS market
will be Microsoft's own entry in the market with Windows CE.

As far as the comment in the PC Week article about Oracle
sticking with their own NCOS, this is the samething that
I heard a few months back. The PC Week story seems to
contradict what Allen has been saying here in this thread.
I don't know if Allen's information is out of date or if the
situation at Oracle is fluid and Oracle is still trying
to figure out what they want to do for an NC operating system.
The initial version of NCOS is based on a UNIX clone, right?
