The Status of the QNX OS

Posted by michael on from the how-do-you-pronounce-that-again? dept.

Eugenia writes "OS enthusiast Thom Holwerda gave a spin to the latest version of QNX RTOS, a very capable OS that unfortunately doesn't get a lot of press. With the recent sale of QNX Software to Harman International the future of the free-for-personal-usage version of the RTOS is uncertain. Nevertheless, the article presents quite a few aspects of the OS, including an introduction of the Neutrino kernel, installation, the Photon MicroGUI, hardware support, usability and more."

    It gets press among people that care about real time operating systems... dunno what kind of press you're hoping for.

    Someone modded this down as a troll? WTF! Did I piss someone off, and if so, how?
