Embedded Systems Study Rebutted

Posted by michael on from the take-that dept.

Gabba writes "LinuxDevices.com has a rebuttal to the Microsoft-funded report purporting to show Windows nearly 4X more efficient than Linux for developing embedded systems. The rebuttal shows the study to be full of flaws in both design and execution."

    Something like this is too obvious to take any space on slashdot. We all know Microsoft wants to defame Linux with any 'report' they try to pull.

    The reason why its not worthy of mention is because theres a whole slew of embedded manufacturers using Linux or trying to use Linux and not Windows CE. We know how many arches CE runs on and how reliably. We've seen the evaluation packs of ARM7TDMI and ARM720T based chips that allow the running of Linux and companies like QT bringing packages for development on Linux.

    In this regard alone, Linux is the monopolist and Microsoft the underdog. If they get a little reactive it surprises noone and neither do them lying. Most of the comments for this post will be of the sarcastic 'no kidding!' kind.
