Mac OS X May Go Embedded? · Slashdot Mirror

Posted by Zonk on Friday December 22, 2006 @05:34PM from the stranger-things-have-happened dept.

VE3OGG writes "Apple Insider is reporting that Apple may very well be developing an embedded version of OSX. The report details what they believe will be the next step in Apple's future, which is extending its consumer electronics division. The first child of such a marriage between OSX and consumer electronic may be the oft-rumoured, not-yet-materialized iPhone — which it also asserts may well be released next fiscal quarter. It seems to be their opinion that with both the desktop and the phone running operating systems with similar underpinnings, 'expansive opportunities' would emerge."

You are confusing QNX with OS X. It is OS X that is BSD layered on a microkernel. Follow the link in your post and actually read about Neutrino. You will realize it is vastly different from what you thought.
