I believe FreeBSD and Linux have been competing based on their merits.
Almost everything I've read puts FreeBSD above Linux in the server arena, at
least. The fact that Windriver has decided to dump Linux may well back that
up. I don't know anything about Windriver except what's been posted here, so
their politics are unknown to me. As for the future, only time will tell.

IMHO,

Charles
