Posted by Hemos on from the going-to-the-tiny dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Embedded software powerhouse Wind River's metamorphosis into an embedded Linux vendor appears to be complete. The company will announce today that it is shipping a pre-release version of its first embedded Linux distribution, and that it has already delivered 1,000 "developer seats" for the Carrier Grade Linux 2.0 compliant software."

    Wind River's web site makes a maximized Firefox browser window shift a little to the left and down with every link click.

    When you've spent billions hardening a technology to extremes of reliability, a single failure costs you hundreds of millions and maybe several lives, and the technology you've hardened is more than adequate for the next job, you'd be a fool to switch.

    And they aint no fools, cuz they did not switch and of course they never had any failures. Fear of change is FATAL.
