Oberon is very nice.
It's a modern OS.

OS X, and Linux are derived from 1976 UNIX
Windows7 is from 1993 and derived from 1985 OS/2 and DEC VMS.

OSX, Linux and Windows can't easily do "Real time". This is nothing to=20
do with CPU speed. It's a challenge on those to "bit bang" RDS reception=20
just under 1,200 bps. Or generate 40kHz manchester encoded at < 600bps=20
IR remote signals.

Real Time java needs a special "real time" Linux Kernel, which is barely=20
Real Time.

QNX might be real time.
