Jack, this is the best post I've read on WIND (thanks to John Huber): Message 12706654 >>snip<< WIND estimates that they have an approximately 35% share of the COTS market. The number two company in the industry, Integrated Systems (INTS) has a market share slightly less than WIND. On February 15, 2000, WIND expects to complete its acquisition of INTS. Combined, they will have a two thirds market share. WIND estimates that all of the COTS vendors combined currently have about 15% of the total market for embedded systems; the other 85% is from in-house systems. WIND's business model is to charge for an up front development license, plus a royalty for each copy of the operating system used in a customer's products. >>snip<< Regards, Jeff

Jack, For concerns about embedded Linux read this post from Allen Benn. Message 14502030 WIND is the #1 embedded OS company by far. The #2 player is 10 times smaller. Also WIND is not just an embedded OS company. The OS is only one part of the embedded software puzzle. For example WIND's Networks and Consumer business units concentrate on software above the OS the those respective areas. I think Motorola is listed as a competitor because they are involved in so many different areas of technology. In certain areas they offer their own in house embedded OS instead of WIND's. For more info on WIND have a look at Peter Church's excellent WIND index. Message 14219776 Regards JC.
