Well, even though I am not sure it would (because that OS would surely allow http requests, right?), there is no incentive for manufacturers to use such an OS, at least yet.<p>I can&#x27;t really think of anything that would change this situation -- although IoT devices will get more sophisticated, they will likely remain quite single-purpose, with webapps or mobile apps serving as the UI, so there isn&#x27;t going to be much to gain from a large common code base.
