VxWorks has its place, sure, and if you were developing eg a set-top
box it might be the right thing. Even there people are using embedded
Linux for preference.
Pretty sure you can get VxWorks off the shelf for stock PCs (though of
course your chance of finding a driver for the latest USB-based ADSL
modem is likely to be a lot slimmer than if you used Linux; for a
start, what USB-based ADSL modem vendor is going to consider that
platform?)
Not sure whether sucking eggs is (in your view) good or bad?
