TRON + Linux = "T-Linux"

An anonymous reader writes "The T-Engine Forum and MontaVista Software announced today that they are collaborating to combine the long-dominant Japanese embedded operating system, TRON ("The Real-time Operating system Nucleus"), with embedded Linux, in the hopes of creating a standardized software architecture for embedded devices that takes advantage of open source software and the benefits of Linux."

Re:question

I thought the same thing, and I can only come up with two answers.

1. Ease of development of applications on the embedded products (of course, if they are embedded, why would they need... oh, never mind)

2. Branding. Let's face it. Linux in and of itself has become a buzzword. What sounds better, 'Buy this new toaster that runs a new and efficent OS to handle everything your toast could need', or 'Buy this toaster... it's powered by Linux!'

slashdot is going downill:(

Some forum teamed with some company to merge some piece of turd I've never heard of with Linux!

WOW

The only embedded linux any of you know consists of the mouse you shoved up your ass.

I say that because you are all gay.

Worthless tripe?

So, it's not about oil, eh?

[the-w-himself!]

And all Iraqi military and civilian personnel should listen carefully to this warning: In any conflict, your fate will depend on your actions. Do not destroy oil wells, a source of wealth that belongs to the Iraqi people.
