What is your definition of a "real" OS?  OS-9 appears to have some nice
features that UNIX doesn't, like real-time services and a ROM-able kernel.
For someone who is building a dedicated system, OS-9 may just be solution
he is seeking.  In any case, OS-9 is far less a toy than CP/M or MS-DOS.

Where would you have this discussion go?  There is no relelevant news group 
that will currently meet the needs (net.os doesn't exist yet).
