CE 3.0 vs RTL info

[Will Shackleford <shackle@cme.nist.gov>]

Next week I have to give a presentation to the Open Modular Architecture 
Controls (OMAC) Users Group entitled "A Survey of Linux, Embedded Linux, 
and Real-Time Linux". I understand that many OMAC members are big fans 
of Windows CE, especially 3.0 with real-time. In fact one of the other 
presenters is Ed Lansinger from Microsoft giving a presentation called 
"Windows CE/Linux Comparison".

Just in case you are curious, see
http://www.arcweb.com/omac/GenMtgs/0201MtgAgenda.htm
for more info.


In checking out the competition I came across the document

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/techart/rt30designing.htm#rt30designing_perf

Which seems to claim 5 microsecond worse case interrupt latency on a 350 
Mhz which will probably sound better than the 15 microseconds the RTL 
FAQ mentions.

Is this a fair comparison?

Are there other advantages of RTL over CE 3.0  that I should be prepared 
to mention other than being free and open source?
