EDC developer survey: Linux, Windows neck-and-neck in embedded (LinuxDevices)

[Posted October 29, 2002 by ris]

LinuxDevices.com covers data recently compiled by Evans Data Corp. which says Linux and Windows are running neck-and-neck in terms of developer use for future projects. "Interestingly, Wind River's VxWorks embedded OS, which is generally considered to be the encumbent embedded software market leader, trails slightly behind Embedded Linux for current project use. Additionally, VxWorks' modest gain of just 2.9 percentage points for expected use in future projects drops it to a distant third place position, ending up with less than half the usage rate of the two neck-and-neck future project usage leaders (Windows Embedded and Embedded Linux)."
