embedded linux is taking off. weverybody is either using it or evaluating it. DOS was about 70 percent of the market. they were all roll your own. They're lmoving to linuix in droves. does everything they want to do and has better support. the learning curve is no big trick if you're co9ming out of command line anyway. linux is croass platf9orm. four sys we can talk about. linux handles most of them with minimal work. excited by the number of device drivers. not used to not waiting for wind riv er to make a driver. devices are getting written at the server level and cascading down. printers, disk drives, usb, ethernet, crdit card readers. here it's either already tested, or adaptable because so many other devices are similar. open source really works here. Got a low powered ethernet chip set? chances are there's a simiar high end. Same goes for testing. thre may be hundreds of thousands of servers using code you can use. Still lacking in tool sets. There's improvement. But there need to be some good gui tools. WinCE ("Wince") tools just don't hold up. tried for quite wsome time and found that the tools are pretty, but the ability to drive the HW was lacking.; Linux booted right off the bat. NOw they'll use Linux and now need to hunt talent and tools.

dan powers extreme blue program. best universities around the world and hire in the best computer science stuedents.l 3-4 programmers. one MBa per team ran it in almaden, cambridge and boston. expanded to the 4 research locations in europe. julian missig worked in cambridge. most of these are linux projects. take them through the various linux projects.

a lot looking at linux because it lacks royalties.
