Peter:

Last time I check WIND's home page, they had a contest to win a Kodak Digital Camera with VxWorks inside! Here's what it said:

Enter to Win!
Enter Wind River's Digital Camera
Sweepstakes to win a Kodak 220 Digital
Camera with VxWorks inside!

I did a site search and found the press release that initially announced the Tornado for Digita:

excerpt:

Wind River Systems Delivers Software for New Digital Imaging Platform
Tornado for Digita Provides Standard Software for Building Next Generation Digital Cameras and Imaging Peripherals

ALAMEDA, Calif., April 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Wind River Systems (Nasdaq: WIND) today introduced Tornado for Digita, for building next generation intelligent digital cameras based on FlashPoint Technology's (San Jose, California) Digita(TM) operating environment. Part of a comprehensive digital imaging platform unveiled today in Tokyo. Tornado for Digita enables manufacturers to build unique, yet standardized, imaging devices and to provide aftermarket add-on features that eliminate product obsolescence. Three market-making manufacturers of digital cameras -- Eastman Kodak, Minolta and Sharp -- have already adopted the new imaging platform for future products.

The release has a hypertext link to the Kodak page for the camera:

So, I guess those cameras do have VxWorks inside!! Where did you get your info from?

I know what I want for Christmas!
GO WIND!
