I have it on good authority that QNX (http://www.qnx.com) is being used as the underlying OS for the "new" Amiga workbench. Not sure if this is old news for this audience.
It was supposed to be coming soon (1st Q) as a beta but I guess that has slipped. I thought their schedule was way too aggressive when I heard about it.
This would be a double win - get all the kewel Amiga stuff ported to Intel and port more of the OSS/GNU stuff to Amiga.

yep, stable, strong, and fast.
It uses a real microkernel. It's small too: 4kb
Everything else loads as a daemon-like module. The OS itself is message passing based.
Kewel stuff.
