In some respects it is funny that MS having spent the 80's and 90's getting the world to use it's OS's - which the world did with 2003/XP, making these the bedrock of much of our modern IT environment -

decided it would be a good idea to simply ditch these OS's and deliver a whole series of cocked up OS's (Win7 was really just the production ready version of Vista, and Win10 still has a long way to go before it can be regarded as a production ready version of Win8).

I expect many in the embedded market to be seriously thinking about what to replace these legacy XP systems with - it wouldn't surprise me if MS has already been put on the list of non-contenders...

Perhaps I should be brushing up my RTOS & VRTX skills...
