QNX says, "Hi." Nearly every router with >1GB/s ports run a microkernel.
Blackberry's phones run microkernels.
Yeah its closed source locked down, but its a functioning high performance micro-kernel.

- mwcampbell 12y ago> Nearly every router with >1GB/s ports run a microkernel. Do you mean home wireless routers, or higher-end routers? I thought most home wireless routers these days, including gigabite-capable ones, were running Linux. Can you give specific examples?

- cgh 12y agoNo, Cisco's NX-OS, which runs on Nexus-series ethernet switches and MDS-series SANs, is based on MontaVista Linux. These are not niche products.
- mwcampbell 12y agoOops, missed the greater-than sign in ">1GB/s". That's what I get for reading via text-to-speech with a lot of punctuation excluded.
