    A real time OS as a desktop system? I've worked with embedded/real time systems and performance in that world is different from performance in the desktop and server worlds. QNX has a nice looking GUI, but who would need it in an embedded or real time application?

    Real time OS's Have Issues with performance on the desktop, just as desktop/server OS's Have Issues in the real time space.
