"The MWAR release may be old news but the question mains--what does the Nortel/WIND alliance mean to WIND if OS9 has already been selected for Nortel handsets" There's NO obligation for Nortel to use WIND in all their products. I beleive that the corporate agreement means that Tornado is easier and cheaper to use for those inside Nortel. If you didn't choose to work with Tornado and instead picked OS9 or pRISM then you could do that. The approval process may be tougher etc., and you may need to come up with justification etc., but I'm sure that you still could use it. I believe that I am correct in saying that Nortel is already shipping product with VxWorks inside, and has not yet succeeded with OS9 inside. I am not inferring by this that there's anything wrong with OS9, there isn't. It's just that coincidentally or not, the VxWorks product is out and the OS9 one is not. I'm not sure if William feels comfortable addressing this issue or not since he used to work for Microware, but if so, it would be great. mac :)
