I just came across an interesting
blog written by Ken Klein, president of Wind River. The past few months have been quite interesting from my perch, covering the happenings at Wind River. But it's seems to be more speculation than anything. The conversations that I have with Wind River's competitors always seem to start with "How can we divide up Wind's share of the market?"
At some point, Wind River has to stop supporting all non-Intel architectures. As much as they say it's not true, I find it hard to believe. But for now, I'll take them at their word. We'll see what happens over time. It's not the first time that a processor maker has acquired an operating system vendor, and I'm hard pressed to come up with one that stayed independent.
In any event, read Klein's blog, then let me know what you think.
