Hmmm. Quite a few come to mind. Windriver supports GNU c/c++. How do we know that Green Hill is not riddled with bad guys posing as good guys? I wonder if they are using any open source tools in their operation? He's got the source, so show us the evil. It's fear-mongering. I pity the sheep that believe this stuff. I suppose Green Hill is acting on it's moral obligation to separate fools from their money. There are bogey-men under your bed and in your closet. You should always sleep with a light on. You should consider RT-Linux. The commercial RTOS are getting long in the tooth and RT-Linux is putting price pressure on them so they can't afford to spend money on R&D and are falling behind. With falling revenues they can't provide support that surpasses the accuracy and turn-around time of open-source lists. The commercial concerns will make bold promises to close the sale, but there is _no_ guarantee the promises will be upheld. -- Mike Moving forward in pushing back the envelope of the corporate paradigm. -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
