``Ittiam has developed the solutions around Texas Instruments` digital media processors and the devices are expected to hit the market by Christmas next year.``

For what MSFT does....Ittiam will create an abstraction layer to mate MSFT methods to the DSP processor environment....it will not be an embedded OS managing at that level....it will be dedicated IP functions developed by Ittiam.

MSFT is CISC architecture....e.Digital has already completed an abstraction for this process.
