Miray Software has released [scroll down a bit] the first version of its newly developed embedded RTOS, Symobi. "Symobi was introduced in professional circles for the first time on the Systems 2006 exposition. Symobi is a graphical RTOS with a newly designed architecture, according to state-of-the-art technology. It is based on the microkernel system µnOS, which was also developed by Miray Software. Therefore, Symobi has its main characteristics - real-time, stability, portability, and modularity - and expands it with new services. The research team of Prof. Dr. Uwe Baumgarten of the Technical University Munich is also involved in the development." There are screenshots, as well as a live CD (for x86 and the Pegasos II/ODW).

Symobi makes intensive use of IPC (inter process communication) operations. They do have little impact on real x86 processors, but are quite expensive in VMware, especially in the free VMware server. Therefore we recommend using VMware Player, if possible. Symobi runs faster on VMware Player or on VirtualPC.
The next version of Symobi will also contain a vastly improved IPC, accelerating Symobi on platforms like VMware where context switching is more expensive than on native x86 processors.
We hope you stay tuned...
@Bobthearch: use "Alt+F4" to close any application.
New: If you want to use VMware Player you may want to download a virtual machine file (.vmx) for VMware here:

And I've allocated 256M to it. It takes 3 seconds to drag a small windows from one corner of the screen to another. Any tips?
