If you had an operating system that was capable of network response in one-thousandth of a second and you found one capable of the same response in one-millionth of a second, what whould you do? When Microsoft was faced with that question, their answer was to sign an agreement to include the salient parts of the faster operatings system into their own. The operating systems in question are Windows CE.NET and the Japanese-made "TRON" operating system. TRON was created by University of Tokyo professor Ken Sakamura, who now heads a forum of 250 companies who use TRON in phones, appliances, and automotive control systems and is already slated to be used in a number of networked appiances in the near future. By integrating TRON's "T-engine" into Windows CE.NET, Microsoft products using CE.NET will already have at least partial compatibility with those products as well as taking a quantum leap in speed of network operations.
