In today's entry in our Alternative OS Contest, James Ingraham takes a close look at QNX, the operating system based on the Neutrino microkernel. He concludes that "While you can probably find solutions for just about all of your desktop computing needs using the QNX RTOS, that is not QNX's strong suit. Its focus is real-time, embedded, and mission critical applications." Read on for the whole article.

After using ICON's at highschool for 4 years you couldnt force me back onto QNX... It was simply HORRIBLE!
AAAIIIIEEEEE ! Thank you for dredging up repressed memories for me. Those things were simply awful. I remember that we could bring down the entire network for kicks, by simply powering on two systems at the same time.
I don't think we had very many classes where the network remained stable and operational the entire time, it was always going down whether intentionally or not. They really were buggers of a system to have to use.
