I would be personally carefull in saying that Cygnus will not succed. My
idea is that they are smart professionals, contrary to many of us that
do real time programming part time, they work full time on their
projects. That means that if they go on they are likely to succeed. As I
told already to somebody I believe in that case we are all out with
respect to a more general industrial audience, but can continue to argue
and programm for amusing ourselves.
About what Jamal said in another mail. I'm not in full knowledge of the
intrecacies of the open source community but I do not see any market
plot in that. Can you comment further? I jump to Cygnus site now and
then and I can take down whatever I want. Clearly I do not care for the
full industrialized development environments they ask you to pay, maybe
even a lot. ECOS seems a nice beast to me and does not scare me at all.
Recall that eCos is itself plus Itron compatibility and I've been told,
just that, that Itron is a well known standard Japanese use very much.
Ciao, Paolo.
