Linux is revolutionizing the embedded systems software market. MindTree knows that the relative advantages of Linux over traditional, proprietary embedded operating systems translate to significant savings in total cost of ownership and quicker time-to-market. Linux systems provide application developers greater control than proprietary solutions, as they are developed using open-source software.
