I think these folks got $9M USD of venture funding to prove that 12 MB
of "Embedded NT" won't fit on a 1.44MB 3.5" floppy like the QNX demo
does :-)

I hope my next project gets that level of funding for my ideas. Possibly
I am missing the idea of venture funding? IMO it appears some VC folks
are willing to pay big bucks if your going to prove the obvious instead
of funding a project if your looking for a functional solution.
