I encourage you to learn more about Hubris and about how we arrived at it -- certainly, it was nothing as you convey (and to the contrary, we tried hard to get extant systems to work). Read Cliff's blog[0] for details, but we are not lightweights and nor are we rookies, and the ideas represented in Hubris come from decades of our collective experience at the hardware/software interface. I also emphatically disagree that "embedded operating systems are a solved problem" (or indeed, that operating systems are a solved problem) -- and that in general such proclamations reveal much more about the technologist than the technology that they proclaim to be finished.
