Everything seems to use it..

It would be nice to have a completely open source stack to develop for in the embedded market. Java is so pervasive that it is pretty hard to escape from.

If you already have virtualization anyway, building an solution for embedded devices is the next logical step and it is not like MS doesn't have its feet in the ebedded market already anyway.

So will this roll up the embedded market? Unlikely. Will this be a nice oportunity for .net programers? Almost certainly.

It was something Miguel talked about recently in a talk about mono at Lang.net - the (wmv) video can be found here: http://download.microsoft.com/download/9/4/1/94138e2a-d9dc-435a-924... Thu, 28 Sep 2006 18:20:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (JCooper) Comments
