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.

Dude, the ICONs ran a version of QNX that was "current" before QNX 2 was released on PCs waaaaaaay back when.
The hardware didn't even have memory protection back then, that's why it sucked for multi-user. And yes, it was still better than other products at the time, at least for schools.
QNX 6 is an entirely different beast. In fact, QNX 2 and QNX 4 were also completely different from the version than ran on the ICONs.
