Why Linux won the embedded market?

,----[ Quote ]
| One story not told often enough involves Linux’ growing domination of the 
| embedded market. 
| 
| In this space Linux usually stacks up against older Real Time Operating 
| Systems (RTOS). The decision by Wind River, the largest RTOS vendor, to 
| migrate toward Linux was a turning point.  
| 
| There has been no turning back. But this is not an open source story. In 
| fact, the embedded Linux business looks a lot like the rest of the embedded 
| market.
