How to move from legacy OS to Linux in easy stages

,----[ Quote ]
| Embedded Linux is rapidly encroaching upon application spaces once considered 
| the exclusive domain of embedded kernels such as VxWorks, pSOS and in-house 
| platforms. Industry analysts show embedded Linux and open source garnering up 
| to one-third of 32 and 64-bit designs, more than twice the share of any other 
| embedded OS.

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.

Who's afraid of embedded Linux? Microsoft

| ...Microsoft is fighting a losing battle here. It's like gravity.
| Eventually you just stop fighting and learn to accept it. Even Microsoft.
