Yes, it's hateful that the only people who paid attention to realtime
in their desktop OS got boned by a fued between two executives. AmigaOS
didn't follow through with everything you'd need from a hard realtime
OS, but at least it started out with a realtime Exec.

And when it looked like the people who bought the wreckage  were getting
in bed with QNX on a consumer RTOS, I was *really* excited. But it turned
out they couldn't actually pay for it, and QNX hadn't actually been told
they were doing it on spec, and were only sporadically interested in doing
it on their own.

Yeh, I've gotten used to it.

Right now the only RTOS you can buy consumer software for is Kadak AMX, and
Palm's license keeps them from providing a real native dev kit...

There's stuff above here
