Re: Genesi Launches OpenSolaris Sponsor Program(Score: 1)
by bbrv on Sep 13, 2005 - 20:18 | "The real target market for PowerPC is not the PC or desktop. That is just a small fraction of the market space. The real money is in the medical world, the automotive sector and the military. Control systems with embedded PowerPC based computers are most likely behind the dashboard and in the pwertrain of that car that you drive. As you can tell by the picture on the Blastware site, its on the motherboard of the new SunFire Opteron gear.
Serious control systems need a serious OS that has twenty years of commercial application exposure and government certifications. Real time control systems in medical equipment run with the PowerPC processor. All of these are easy targets for an OpenSolaris port project and all of it can be developed on a standardized PowerPC OpenFirmware based system like the Genesi ODW. Throw in Java also and you have one heck of a huge target market long before you get to the desktop."
Not sure we could have said it better ourselves...;-)
