Venture Development Corporation (VDC) has released three new charts from their recent study entitled Linux's Future in the Embedded Systems Market, which indicate that embedded developers using Open Source software take advantage of support from the Open Source community, and are generally satisfied with the support they receive. Over 60% said they consult the Open Source community on a weekly or monthly basis, and less than 2% reported that the responses were not useful.

The three charts illustrate the responses to VDC survey questions regarding . . .

• How Often Do You Consult the Open Source Community?
• Purpose for Consulting the Open Source Community?
• Usefulness of the Open Source Community for Respondents Currently Using Linux?

The above three charts have been added as Figures 1, 2, and 3 to a VDC whitepaper based on the study published by LinuxDevices.com here:
