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! Yes I'm sure they have 'fixed' things in the last 13 years but QNX for a multiuser primary OS was just painfull!"
Wow! 13 years ago... 1993! If you use the MS Windows comparison, then you'll be thinking back to even before the original MS Windows 95 days; all the way back to when Windows 3.1 was MSs popular OS!
Comparing the changes to MS Windows, and *nix --> Linux OSs, and many many more OSs, then I think QNX'll be quite different.
Back 13 years I was still using Amiga OS, RISC OS (Acorn Archimedes), and my humble Atari ST occasionally. How things have changed!
PS. BTW, thanks to James Ingraham for the QNX review!
