Now that you mention it, I think there is a PLC manufacturer that has a
"real time windows CE" environment.  It works because they use a Linux
kernel with the low latency and real-time options, which only hands over
run time to windows when it decides it can.  I was reading about it a
while back... If you want I could dig up some more?
