So the experiences and recommendations of a professional don't count?
I'll have to take that into consideration next time I need my air conditioning fixed. I'll go to the local bar for advice. -

Re NT4 = geek, again that reveals your focus on the consumer demographic. NT4 was a very successful OS of Windows in the industrial and commercial sectors. -

That's irrelevant. There are developers and developers.
Not all are decently/sufficiently qualified, not all are knowledge-hungry,
not all are able to make truth always speak louder than sophisms.
I (still) respect JohnnyMalaria --- at least he admits that what he
writes or speaks may contain this or that kind of bias. But there also exist
developers who are not better than an engineer who designs a vacuum cleaner
that blows hot air onto the user's face. I have met people who apparently
know everything about almost all programming languages but are also
unable to build a "useless" standalone flip-flop without an IC ---
--- evidently they were convinced to believe that it's not very important to know
"how it all began".

And quotation marks can be used to denote irony.
But I'm pretty sure you already knew that. -
Ahhh... the mind of a Dev, coder, engineer or a Geek...
Smart minds centered on being focused, accurate, perfectionist, organized and ever determined to produce flawless designs that are efficient and feature-filled and ever improve and ambitiously redefine the word "perfect" when it seemed like it already was established.
Intelligent? You bet - among the best on the planet.
But they are too smart for their own good when marketing products. This intelligence would bomb when selling products. That's what business schools at the Graduate level are all about - to dumb down these brilliant minds when it comes time to make serious business and management decisions for their organizations later in their careers.I hate VHS. I always did. -

You are misinformed. You should Google to see if what someone has claimed is true before dismissing it.
Windows Embedded is a true RT OS.

And you can change the OS source code as needed.
It's everywhere. In the case of PDAs, you should do some research to find out just how many use it.
Examples of real world (even mission critical) applications (ATMs, medical devices):
