I believe that trying to redirect towards an embeded only enviroment would be
fairly .. well .. suicide. The embeded market is beeing pushed towards more
and more open standards, TCP, SNMP, POSIX, ect..ect by the end customer who
wishes to intigrate systems that needed embded RTOS enviroments w/ their
current interanet. As well, the other huge winner is the number of platforms
you can run on and the hardware you can support. The end customer, even in
the embeded market, prefers vast amounts of flexability. That's likley why
Linux has worked it's way into the embeded market as well.
