Embedded OS trends points to Linux...sometimes
,----[ Quote ]
| The "less is more" approach attracts developers that otherwise might opt to
| use Linux or a complex OS solution-not because Linux or large OSs aren't good
| technology and ideal for many applications, but because they're not the best
| choice for all applications, and developers are getting wise to this
| distinction. In many cases, developers realize that such large-scale
| solutions either can't handle hard real-time, small footprint, low-cost
| requirements, or they're overkill for those requirements and hinder rapid
| development. Projects with modest requirements are common, and those projects
| might be better suited to one of the many small RTOSs on the market.

Simple is better. It's also leaner. Think of Vista for contrast.
