Re: "Desktop" cRIO

I agree that it would be cool to make a RIO function as a desktop, but unfortunately its not designed to be a desktop computer so you may run into issues during implementation (especially at the OS stage). The lack of secondary storage will make multiprogramming very difficult (unless you plan to run only a couple programs at a time)

but hey, i say go at it if your team will let you have at their RIO
