Let's be fair here, embedded systems are computers like every other and there are far more of them than there are regular computers. If you walk into any slightly larger production plant and you take QNX and other soft real time or hard real time controllers out then that plant becomes so much scrap metal.

Besides, QNX works very well on PC hardware and is used extensively in the communications industry.

Please do not take your own limited exposure to the world of IT as proof that certain things are true, especially when they are emphatically not. I know of several thousand QNX installs within 10 km from where I'm sitting.

Denying the success of micro kernels such as QNX by disqualifying applications is like claiming linux is a failure by excluding mobile devices.
