Nah, Pocket PC. ;-)
Which, BTW, Micro$chmuck has just relased "Pocket PC 3.0" ... they've now
ditched the "Windows CE" and "Windows Pocket PC Edition" names and are
calling it "Windows Mobile."
I was pleasantly surprised to find out that OS/9 is still around; they're now
using it in embedded environments (those of you who at one time had
Tandy/Radio Shack Color Computers will remember OS/9 ... had they ever put it
on an Intel platform it would have wiped out the competition because it was
so memory-efficient (YOU trying running a complete multitasking Unix-like
operating system in 128KB of RAM!). Heck, DR-DOS (which jumped hands from
Digital Research to Caldera to Lineo to a new company that I forget the name
of) is still alive and well in the embedded environment as well.
