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.

"And yes, QNX isn't intended for typical desktop use"
I not said VB-like language, I said VB-like looking UI 
That's pretty a difference, because the power of QNX cannot be compared to what can offer VB in this range of application
And it's sad QNX, with such a well organized and ergonomic shell cannot be used as a desktop OS...

Note that QNX has no "VB-like" language or environment; PhAB is a user-interface builder, and you develop using C/C++.
And yes, QNX isn't intended for typical desktop use.
