RTLinux^(TM) is a hard real-time operating system that handles
time-critical tasks and runs Linux as its lowest priority execution
thread. In RTLinux, a small hard-realtime kernel shares one or more
processors with standard Linux. This allows the system to run accurately
timed applications to perform data acquisition, systems control and
robotics, while still serving as a standard Linux workstation.
The most-current stable version of RTLinux, V3.0, offers a POSIX style
application programming interface (API), runs on x86, PowerPC and Alpha
processors and supports SMP (x86 only). Version 3.0 (final) is available
at ftp.rtlinux.com.

This is only the first in a series of articles. This one is interesting
only for the fact that subsequent benchmarks will have to take into
account the poorer response times for WinNT. The rest of the series
should be more entertaining. BTW, that "IBM guy", as you referred to him,
is IBM's product guru in charge of MSFT, not Linux. I'm expecting bias
in a different direction than you.

They started doing *that* in Windows 3.1.
Originally it was for performance, of course, but
there is another reason: They need to move
driver developers to a new API too, so they
can transition to the NT codebase. NT must
have drivers, not just apps.
Hence all this "Windows Driver Model" stuff.

Yeah, but the point is to kill DOS.
MS has been *cuting back* on DOS

No, it was really the other way around. The core of
Windows 1 was the module linker; all the GUI stuff
was (and indeed is) a bunch of dynamic link libraries.

In my experience it takes a couple of years to become at ease with Linux terms
especially if like I did, one comes from a Windos background.
Linux how-to's are a good way to approach this, as they are written in a easy
format to understand.
