Not exactly... QNX still has a loyal following - NASA, for one, loves it. Other
aerospace folks like it as well - the debacle of developing the Aegis missile
system using MS NTe(mbedded) was enough to send the Pentagon folks flocking
back to high-priced RTOS vendors such as QNX and VXworks.

Still, I notice that one company I used to work for has ported their SCADA
system from QNX to Linux.
