Azure. And I bet Ubuntu will eventually be owned by Microsoft.

So basically that leaves IBM and Microsoft calling the shots what Linux is supposed to be.

Plus in what matters in embedded space I will give about 10 years for MIT OS like Azure RTOS and Zephyr to wipe the floor of GPL based Linux distributions.



Thanks for mentioning this.

Never heard of Azure RTOS before, but it seems MS went and bought Express Logic. That's quite big.

But it doesn't seem to be MIT?

Not sure, my point was that most companies are doing their best to avoid GPL based OSes, going forward.


These are interesting predictions.


Oh, yeah Xenix 2.0, everything old is new again.
