What makes you so sure?

There's no guarantee they won't start supporting MMU's and more process-like
features, or port NetBSD or Linux (bleah) to run as a low-priority task on
top of the realtime scheduler. There are examples of these strategies in the
marketplace already, but none of those has gone anywhere significant yet.

Disclaimer: I work for WRS but only as a grunt.
Don't take anything I say as a hint about future plans.
