  mm! Heard about iRMX from INTEL? 

That's THE real time system. It has almost all the features a real timer
would want. CTOS is not great as a realtime system, but is good in other areas.
I agree with JDM on this. I dont want to go emotional and get into the merits 
and demerits of iRMX vs CTOS. But, if I want a real time system I will bet on 
iRMX. I have also vaguely heard about QNX etc.
