Well you do use Windows, 'cos you seem to be using M$ text codes there, look at them nice question marks. Oh, wait, maybe you are using IE for Mac. I thought it had the same problem though...
Linux isn't exactly unheard of really is it now? Windows has the advantage of a conistent GUI that many users will be familiar with, but then again, Linux GUIs can emulate it perfectly. Most users wouldn't know the difference, until they found the configuration program...:-)
And for the 10th time, it is heard not herd you silly 14 year flamebaiting boy. You have such poor spelling and grammatical structure to your posts I cannot conclude differently.
Slashdot isn't going to sell your e-mail address (I hope:) ) on. We aren't M$ or any of your favourite corporate companies.
Most users will go into a shop and buy the box they like the most. They don't care if the box runs WinCE, Linux, AmigaSoft5, BeOS or CP/M , as long as it does what they want it to do. They have heard a lot of bad things about M$ though, and might be wary, and they might not like how it works. There are a lot of better solutions to a problem than WinCE, which is a poor excuse for a system to be honest, after you have got over the colour.
Bad start to my user history this, two replies which will obviously be marked down to -1. sob.
I think that the one anonymous coward that has been posting all of the flamebait, without any apparent knowledge of linux, and with terrible spelling (especially for someone with a degree!) should be outed. People posting crap like this will mean the end of allowing Anon Cowards, as everyone will have to register.
So, someone, look at the logs of postings, find out the IP address of the poster, and block it. We don't need these kind of irresponsible lies. Sure, WinCE might have a place somewhere, but it is way too overspecced in some areas, and underspecced in others. It is just a less bloated version of Win95 in the end. Cheap M$ crappy software.
Hmmm, and running WinCE in a remote control. Yeah right. Whack that 4Meg ROM in there, a nice 100MHz processor, 640x240 colour screen. Your lies are so pathetic they make me laugh. Go away, and read ZDnet.
On topic now...
This system looks like nothing else. Shame it isn't really a video recorder device, more of a video delay device, but having 4-30 hours of delay! Heck, whack in one of those 250Gig drives and get 300+ hours of delay!
The use of Linux is by the by, the company obviously found it to be the best solution, although I would have thought a dedicated RTOS such as QNX would have been much more suitable.
