Some funny MS Propaganda

[Warren Postma]

I don't know who said this, but it's wrong:

>>> I can't find ANYTHING that indicates IOS runs on QNX, and I actually 
>>>  find it hard to believe, since I don't think QNX generally runs
>>> on non x86 hardware

QNX is a company with MORE than ONE RTOS kernel, although both are 
commonly called just QNX for short.

The old original QNX-OS, and the next generation QNX-NEUTRINO, which has 
replaced the old QNX 386 code, which is now only used by legacy 
customers.  The original QNX OS core was hand coded in 386 assember and 
the architecture was not highly portable.  The NEUTRINO core, which is 
what all non-x86 cpus that run a QNX RTOS use, is portable to lots of 
different non-intel cores.
