[Aperios]
Chinacat, anyone,
In the Interactive week article, zdnet.com
the author states:
The 3 million new Sony boxes, which will begin to ship to Cablevision next summer, will feature Sony's i.Link IEEE-1394 digital interface, or firewire as it's often called, to allow consumers to connect the box with other consumer electronics; its Digital Transmission Content Protection (5C DTCP) technology; the Home Audio-Video interoperability-based home networking software; and the Aperios operating system.

And from the Wind River Press Release we've seen:
The coming new generation of high-bandwidth consumer products - like Sonyïs new cable modems - need to be reliable, available and user friendly, says Kimio Uchida, president, Component Company Business Systems Group, Sony Electronics. Wind Riverïs Tornado environment, together with Ciscoïs NetWorks technologies, ensure a fast development cycle and interoperability among devices - thereby accelerating consumer demand for these products.

Is VxWorks part of these boxes being sold to Cablevision?

Thanks,

Steve
