The Linux vs Windows Devices Showcase

I had fun comparing the The Linux Devices Showcase to the The Windows Devices Showcase. Both site are own by the same group, but not sponsored by the same peoples.

It is fun to compare the kind of really bizarre devices you get running linux compared to those running on windows.

The other category is pretty interesting:
On the Windows side, you have:
-An automated sewing machine
-A GPS-enabled diesel performance controller
-A workout bike
-A low payload industrial robot
-A humanoid robot
-A wearable technical assistance computer

On the linux side:
-A vehicule tracking device
-A glass cockpit
-Military robots...
-... or Military trucks
-A bus tracking system
-A cow milking system
-A system in an RJ-45 Connector
-An ice cream making machine
-A ship building robot

Of course, the thing I find really interesting (for the type of job I do) would be the Etherscope network analyser.. but at 5.500 US$, it's a bit pricey..
