Microsoft delves deeper into IoT with Express Logic acquisition

Microsoft delves deeper into IoT with Express Logic acquisition

Microsoft has never been shy about being acquisitive, and today it announced it's buying Express Logic, a San Diego company that has developed a real-time operating system (RTOS) aimed at controlling the growing number of IoT devices in the world. Express Logic is not some wide-eyed, pie-in-the-sky startup. It has been around for 23 years, building (in its own words) "industrial-grade RTOS and middleware software solutions for embedded and IoT developers." The company boasts some 6.2 billion (yes, billion) devices running its systems.
