An EE Times straw poll of embedded device makers in Europe found that while last year 50% said they planned to use Linux, that number had dropped to 33%. 26% said they planned to use a commercial OS, up from 15% a year ago.

Having worked in the embedded industry, a commercial OS is definitely the way to go (even if it is linux
). My friend works at Windriver doing their linux distro. The skillset is just not there in every company to have their own linux guru to handle everything from device modules, file systems... how to optimize things...
Not to mention a good development environment...
And then if you're going for a commerical build, I don't think the price difference are that huge between them so you're really just going on the best embedded OS to suit your needs.
