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.

WinCE is actualy a very well done and incredibly customizable embeded OS (and desktop os if you have enough skills with platform builder and the right board suport pachage). It is fast, reliable, mostly shared source, and above all it is insanly customizable. if I had to pick an embeded OS (and i did as i develop apps for them and mess around with embeded OS's for fun) I pick WinCE and QNX. I am anxiously awaiting WinCE 7 and QNX 6.4. (I am even more excited about QNX 6.4.1 since it will have CDT 5.0 and Eclipse 3.4 integrated in Qnx SDP 6.4.1)
