The desktop and embedded spaces are completely different markets. None of the companies you mention are going to be building PCs and pushing Linux as the OS on them. In the embedded space the OS is completely invisible and certainly isn't the focus of any branding effort. MSFT does compete in that market with both Windows CE and Windows XP embedded. The major independent player in the market is WIND. In-house proprietary OSes (of which there are dozens) still dominate this fragmented market, however.
