Title: Intel strikes back at ARM, buys embedded OS maker Wind River

Very interesting article from ars technica:

Intel strikes back at ARM, buys embedded OS maker Wind River (http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/news/2009/06/intel-strikes-back-at-arm-buys-embedded-os-maker-wind-river.ars)

"...
Though Intel would deny it, because it wants to keep Wind River's existing customer and revenue base intact for as long as it can, the ultimate result of this will be that the future of VxWorks is with x86, and any ARM, MIPS, or PowerPC versions of the OS will be demoted to second-class citizen status.
