You wonder why they can't use another flavour sauce on your Extra Large Nachos with Jalapinos.... what about Linux. I'd love to know the cost of an embedded MS OS!

And how, exactly, do you think we run the millions of Linux systems that run on these single board computers? Mostly CF cards, of course. We're even downsizing since a CF is a bit big and clunky for modern boards.

Putting Windows on CF won't make it crash less often.

I'm a regular Inq reader; I get the humor. I'm not one of those people who write in to ask what a 'vole' is or to correct the spelling of 'source' (correctly spelled 'sauce').

I think it would have been nice for someone to have read this article a couple of times and tidied it up a bit before publishing it, so the readers didn't have to read it twice to understand it. Unless you made it hard to understand on purpose, as a way of poking fun at the people quoted in the article who are trying to make end user's lives easier since the end users don't understand the technology. But (in this case) I think I'd be giving you too much credit...

I still like Inq and Nick, too. :)

Replace one alien form of windows that nobody understands with yet another alien form of windows that nobody understands residing on flash? Whoopdie-f'ing-doodly doo. Well it would certainly be a cash cow for the propellor-heads selling and maintaining this devil you won't know. Otherwise, no point at all.

And with the movie mode of my digicam as my witness, sticking an OS on flash isn't a cure-all for cheap hardware, buggy kernels or poorly written applications. I think today for giggles I'll upload to YouTube my video of the in-flight entertainment system on my Delta flight rebooting itself upon command, whereupon it shows me a dazzling display of penguin prowess, predictably.

nagDAMMIT!
