If more companies in the embeded market make a similar move, it will probably make REBOL for 8-bit embeded OS's less likely. (and perhaps less needed in the long term.) Quote from Aplio press release... " SAN BRUNO, CA, MAY 17, 1999 -- Aplio, Inc., worldwide leader in Internet Telephony appliance technology and maker of the award-winning Aplio/Phone, today announced that it has selected Linux as the operating system for its future Internet appliances and embedded technology.
