Why Linux won the embedded market?
,----[ Quote ]
| One story not told often enough involves Linux’ growing domination of the
| embedded market.
|
| In this space Linux usually stacks up against older Real Time Operating
| Systems (RTOS). The decision by Wind River, the largest RTOS vendor, to
| migrate toward Linux was a turning point.
|
| There has been no turning back. But this is not an open source story. In
| fact, the embedded Linux business looks a lot like the rest of the embedded
| market.
