“Lineo has released the first version of its Linux operating
system called Embedix, which is targeted at embedded systems and
will compete with Microsoft’s Windows CE operating system in a wide
range of high volume consumer electronics devices.”
“Embedded versions of Linux could prove key in consumer
electronics devices whose low price means that manufacturers of
such devices need a very low cost operating system and often cannot
justify Microsoft’s relatively high licensing costs for Windows
CE.“
