I'm a big fan of embedded OSs.
I accept that my PDAs will never have the raw power of a full fledged OS,
but what I really wish is that my laptops could only duplicate the instant on/instant off speed of my PDAs.

Having used various computers over the decades, it's amazing how fewer headaches an embedded OS creates compared to a full-fledged OS. If you don't need the raw-processing power of a big OS, there's really few advantages, and plenty of disadvantages to going that way.
