Novell today announced the availability of SUSE Linux Enterprise Real Time 10, "the only open source, enterprise-class real-time operating system available in the market today". Novell says: "Enhancements to SUSE Linux Enterprise Real Time 10 include the latest enterprise-hardened open source technologies that reduce system latency or delay and improve predictability, such as CPU shielding, priority inheritance, sleeping spinlocks, interrupt threads, high-resolution timers and the latest OpenFabrics Enterprise Distribution for commodity high-speed interconnects, OFED 1.2.5. As a result, customers gain time advantage over competitors"

How do you quantify such a statement - personally I think all the Linux companies right now are doing a pretty piss poor effort at addressing the desktop. The lack of actually teaming up with big companies and getting them to develop on the platform. The lack of movement forward in regards to bringing harmony between the various desktops, the lack of support by these companies to developing GTKMM so that developers aren't for ever crippled with needing to write in C or a slew of immature languages.
Getting back ontopic, its good to see that Novell is pushing their products forward in the enterprise market, even with the screaming from wall street for a slash 'n burn approach to cost management - someone needs to remind wall street that you can't build a damn thing without men on the production floor, or in the case of programming, bums on seats. You can't just magically click ones fingers and voila, productivity appears out of no where. One can't just click fingers and voila, a product appears out of no where.
Hopefully we'll see in the long term a company which is focused on delivering what the customer needs rather than this over the top fixation on 'the community' - as if a fortune 500 company actually gave a toss over whether a given software supplier is 'nice to the opensource community'.
