Building a QNX 7 Desktop
That's nice, but sad. Until QNX 6.5, there was a full windowed desktop environment, with the Photon window manager.<p>I used QNX on the desktop when developing a DARPA Grand Challenge vehicle from 2003-2005.  Back then, at QNX 6.21, you had the window manager, the Eclipse development environment, Firebird (Firefox before the name change), and Thunderbird.  Then QNX marketing cut off the free version, and all the free software projects stopped making builds for QNX. Desktop usability went downhill from there.<p>The desktop environment had very consistent performance, because QNX doesn't swap. (It's a real time system, after all.) I could run the real-time vehicle control system and simulator at a higher priority than the desktop and not have it miss a timeout while doing compiles and web browsing at a non real time priority.<p>I miss QNX. It's much simpler and saner than Windows or Linux.  Yet all of POSIX is available. It's what home routers and similar devices ought to be running instead of Linux.
