1. Okay then, I'm an idiot who has over hundred different firmware releases running for different applications all over the world without a single crash or bug report to date. All developed with assembly language and C, and compiled without the help of Bill Gates memory hog of a crutch for morons who can't design embedded systems if it doesn't look, smell, and taste like Windows.

You sound like a good engineer then.

2. I've seen Windows crash many times.

So have I.

Useful solution? How?
Yes, I dismiss it as a complete waste of time, money, and it would be a waste of my career if I believed otherwise.


Again, I admit my ignorance of embedded development. But bear with me for a moment - I hope I can ask you this as a serious question:

Say I wanted to develop an embedded system that required a GUI, had multithreading and networking capabilities. I assume there are other packages available that would help you develop this without writing everything from scratch. Services in the embedded OS, I would guess. Am i correct here?

You can just point me someplace I can read about this stuff if you want.
