It ran the Windows screen as an application on top of the RTOS so even when the BSOD occurred you did not lose machine control (MDSI's explanation). I do have a Windows based control in my shop. It is a 2100 control on a Cincinnati horizontal. You can see the Windows screen during boot. AFAIK there have been no BSODs. We have had the machine about 2 years. I don't know if it is the VentureCom RTOS or something else.
