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.

Yes it was windows 3.0.. Windows 3.1 had just shipped and I remember having to use the windows 3.0 CGA driver.
I'm just saying as a former day to day user of QNX it was horrible. I know it has a huge fan boy following because its a microkernel, but try to actually use it. I'll take windows 3.0 any day over qnx.
