For some inexplicable reason I missed the fact that one of my favourite operating systems saw a new release last month. On May 28 QNX Software Systems released QNX Neutrino RTOS 6.4.1 and the associated Momentics Tool Suite, also at version 6.4.1. Even though it's a point release, there's some really cool and new stuff in here.

EeePC?

I wonder how well this release would perform on my eeepc 901, has anyone heard anything about the hardware support for these devices?

The only references I found was a 2007 post in openQNX forums and a video link on Truveo.

it is under experimental suport; http://community.qnx.com/sf/wiki/do/viewPage/projects.bsp/wiki/BSPA...
(scroll to the bottom).

if you want to use it as a loptop os Dell's latitude 8 series are you best bet. for desktops, andthing with intels 3 series is good. like the Vostro 200.

I think they should have released a Desktop version. I understand that embedded is their strong source of income. For this reason they should have made clearly a desktop version for the community as a technology preview and open for contributions.
