Ten years of MontaVista:
The Past, Present, and Future of Embedded Linux:
The leader in embedded Linux commercialization.
It's been ten years since MontaVista opened it's doors and created the embedded Linux market. At first people told us we were crazy, Linux wouldn't work in embedded applications, you had to have an RTOS. Well, ten years later Linux is the operating system of choice for more new designs than any other operating system, by a long shot. We're proud to have created and led this market, and we look forward to the next ten years.
Take a few minutes to review our history and meet the people who've made us what we are today. Because behind the great technology you've come to expect from MontaVista, you'll find great people!
MontaVista’s leadership
Every good software company is only as good as the people behind it. We are fortunate to have many of our early employees still at MontaVista. Listen below as they relate stories from the early years of the company, and find out how we got to where we are today.

Discussion with Jim Ready Part1
This is part 1 of a discussion with Jim Ready, founder of MontaVista Software. In this video Jim discusses the beginning of the embedded Linux market, how MontaVista shaped this market, and how the market has changed in the past few years. At the close he talks about the future of embedded Linux development.
Prior to starting MontaVista, Jimi developed the first commercially viable, real-time operating system: VRTX kernel. He founded Ready Systems in 1980, which merged with Microtec Research, went public in 1994, and was acquired by Mentor Graphics in 1995. During this period, Mr. Ready served as president of Ready Systems and as CTO of Microtec and Mentor. In 1999, Mr. Ready founded MontaVista Software to bring the Linux operating system to the embedded systems market
