real-time OS extensions to Windows: ROFL. Windows attached to a real-time OS is ROFL, like running a marathon with 50 pounds of assorted gadgets chained to your body and dragging behind you. But the people who buy windows don't know the difference and don't use 95% of windows either.

Not everyone agrees: In early April Microsoft announced it would add real-time OS extensions to Windows CE, and WIND's stock took a hit. This is one concern I have with "playing the gorilla game." Who wants to be a part of such a disgustingly unethical company as that? Everyone with a clue knows this is an absurd thing to claim, and that it will never really happen, but because of the fact that they are a gorilla, they can manipulate WIND's stock like this. Might even limit their ability to compete, without ever producing (or being able to produce) a competitive product. I hold INTC and I don't have trouble sleeping at night, but I will never hold MSFT (Apologies if this is too far off topic) Dragonfly
