I think it is probably equally as "entirely possible" that Microsoft would use MicroOS as it is that Microsoft would not use EDIG's MicroOS? There certainly is no rush to use MicroOS. If Microsoft figures out that it cannot make a better operating system for flash, it could wait until next year to use MicroOS. After all, my guess is that very few consumers have ever heard of MicroOS. Remember the "Intel Inside" commercial? If the clerk told the customer that this player has MicroOS inside, the customer would say what is MicroOS. I doubt that the clerk could explain the advantage to the customer nor use the manufactures well known name as a selling point. Heck, I would guess that very few of the current shareholders understand the advantages of MicroOS. And if Microsoft decides to wait another year, in this very hypothetical situation, there may be new flash memory operating systems available from other small and even large well known companies.
