I hope this all gets resolved in a way that satisfies everyone. BUT this is a good life lesson for aspiring engineers. We have to respond to technical specifications all the time that are vague (where our potential customer knows much less about the problem/solution domain than we do). On some level, it is our responsibility to request clarification BEFORE designing/building a solution.

And BTW Linux == Embedded, my company has put it on several satellites and on some tiny tiny platforms. Linux does soft real-time quite well these days and is closing in on hard real-time performance.
