Behind The Coolest Gadgets - Linux or Windows?

Posted by timothy on from the no-wait-it's-forth dept.

An anonymous reader submits "Sister sites LinuxDevices and WindowsForDevices have kicked off what they're calling the Great Embedded Device Smack-Down, to see whether Linux or Windows Embedded powers the best and coolest devices. The Smackdown highlights more than 350 gadgets in nine categories, along with some entertaining "pre-game commentary" featuring the latest market share figures for the two OSes and a whacky clipart image of Stone Cold Bill Gates taking on The Tux."

    Not mac os, not linux, not windows.
    Apple bought the iPod's operating system from Pixo, a small company, that meanwhile has been acquired by Sun (try www.pixo.com).
    It seems to be a proprietary OS.
    Some information: http://www.fact-index.com/p/pi/pixo.html
