Windows Embedded. Can it stand against Unix based RTOS?

I thought Unix is something that is being used in Embedded system and windows have no part in it, though I know that there is something called Windows CE (Consumer Electronics) which typically used in PDAs and smart phones. Now next version of windows CE has been released and it is called Windows Embedded. There are 3 different editions of windows Embedded.






Guess in the future Networking devices may use Windows as their RTOS. But I'm sure that Microsoft will do great job is easing the development using Windows Embedded which is some what complicated, but performance-wise time only will answer!! If you have worked in Networking domain, you might be aware that IXIA traffic generator uses Windows as it's operating system.

With these releases it is very clear that Microsoft is more interested towards mobile computing and consumer electronics and recent acquistion of Danger Inc., mobile company confirms that!!

Don't wonder if something like M-Phone is being released by Microsoft.
