I for one don't know where to get actual office applications for vxworks or QNX or ecos or ucosII or RTEMS or ... a RADAR from iZ corporation does a fantastic job for sound recording and playback, and as far as I know still runs BeOS under the covers, but it's not a general purpose machine. I hate that the vast majority of audio software is written for OSes that are not hard realtime. apparently it works well enough for most people, but then most people accept reboots and viruses and glitches and trouble with computers in general. it's just a minor background hate... physical analog equivalents have their own hates, but normally I don't have to worry about hating embedded software.
