This should be a good thing, since general pessimism abounded when Wind River took over Walnut Creek's BSD sponsorship. Here is the full story." There's also a story on news.com. We published a note about this in the BSD section but it deserves front-page treatment.

    Bah, they don't need FreeBSD... Their port and support for their VxWorks OS is a disgrace to FreeBSD... It may be based on FreeBSD, but they took something good, and made it mediocre.
