I totally agree with what you say, but i'm not sure what you said is what you ment. I'v worked on a real time system and it was absolutely AWFULL. I did not have RT priority, another process did! So, since there are no free lunches, a very responsive DeskTop might mean your CD write failed, The system could not stop to swap your task and consequently crashes ... Andrew Tannenbaum said he'd fail Linus for doing a monolithic kernel, yet minux went nowhere and linux didn't. Beta vs VHS ? Dejavu?
