Vxworks from WindRiver	PROPRIETARY	The Wind River VxWorks platforms are complete, flexible, optimized COTS development and run-time platforms that work out of the box and across the enterprise. The platforms provide a powerful, scalable development and on-chip debugging environment built on open standards and industry-leading tools; the industry's most trusted commercial grade real-time operating system (RTOS); and tightly integrated run-time technologies.	EVALUATION
INTEGRITY from Green hills	PROPRIETARY	The INTEGRITY® operating system technology is the most secure technology in the world having been certified by the NSA-managed NIAP lab to EAL6+ High Robustness. No other commercial operating system has attained his level of security. No other commercial operating system has entered into an evaluation at EAL6+ High Robustness.	EVALUATION
montavista Linux	Commercial Linux	MontaVista Linux delivers the time-to-market advantages of a proprietary platform along with the control that would be expected from open source Linux. As a pre-tested, integrated platform, MontaVista Linux can be installed quickly and developers can be up and running right away. But as a Linux platform, development teams have complete control, with the ability to customize the platform using home-grown code, or modules from the vast libraries available to the Linux community.

THREADX	PROPRIETARY	ThreadX is Express Logic's advanced Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) designed specifically for deeply embedded applications. ThreadX has many advanced features, including its picokernel™ architecture, preemption-threshold,™ event-chaining,™ and a rich set of system services. Combined with its superior ease-of-use, ThreadX is the ideal choice for the most demanding of embedded applications	EVALUATION
QNX	PROPRIETARY	What makes QNX Neutrino realtime operating system (RTOS) so remarkable? It's a true microkernel operating system. Under QNX Neutrino, every driver, application, protocol stack, and file system runs outside the kernel, in the safety of memory-protected user space. Fault resilience is built right in. As a result, virtually any component can fail - and be automatically restarted - without affecting other components or the kernel. No other commercial RTOS provides such protection	EVALUATION
