Javaaah: I heartily agree with your analysis of the potential for Insignia to reap the rewards of producing an RTOS, since RTOS's are still resource hogs relative to the deeply embedded systems that Jini will appear in. I would like (if anybody at Insignia reads this thread) to suggest that Insignia look into licensing or supporting one of the many free/low price RTOS variants that are kicking around: I don't recall their names off hand, but there are plenty of them. I wouldn't think that building their own would be necessary, nor even cost effective. Integrating JENE with such a beast, and putting it on the common deeply embedded platforms and processors (and not so deep too) would be a real winner. Anybody at Insignia care to comment? Regarding the Sun VM and scalability: I take WIND's TurboJ announcement as a statement that they are moving away from Sun's VM. This is probably good for us developers, but not for Insignia, since they aren't moving towards JENE. Just think what a winner it would have been for Insignia if the WIND announcement had been for JENE and not TurboJ. P.
