So many devices out there use embedded windows because the developers had hardly a clue, or just grown up in a windows world. In most embedded devices linux would easily outperform the windows stuff, especially since as developer you can really cater for your embedded devices, instead of recreating the hardware so it fits mostly a PC.

Embedded windows crap in my country includes cash machines, ticket machines, oscilloscope , data analyzers and many more.

I even once watched a cash machine reboot, after it took my credit card :-/

I'm happy the eInk front somehow got better developers, as all today available devices run embedded linux..
