It's 100% POSIX compliant, and there's VERY little UNIX code that can't be made to run on it. Now, I'm not advocating QNX or Linux....not the point I was making. QNX has a niche market, one where there's NO competition because of the real-time demands. Fred C. J. Kenneth Tan wrote:
Yes, but QNX is an RTOS. You got to know what do RTOS gives you, before you commit on an RTOS.

It will eventually be usable, but will it matter? I can't see GNU developers pulling support for Linux because they have their own kernel.
There's also freedows, or any of the message-passing OS variants that are a little more revolutionary...
If you want "revolutionary," take a GOOD gander at QNX!! 'Fastest micro-kernel, message passing, distributed processing OS for the Intel platform! You can imagine what task switches are for a good Pentium II, considering that the old version of QNX would task switch on a 20Mhz P-5 at OVER 20,000 a sec!
