Speaking of Tron and Ken Sakamura, they are featured in an article in 
today's 2003.07.17 Technotimes section of the Japan Times.  The 
article, "Japan's own software guru" by George Nishiyama, suggests
Sakamura "would easily be a dollar billionaire by now, perhaps even 
rivaling Gates," if Sakamura had charged one cent to each TRON user.

The article also mentions that "TRON is distributed free of charge",
is an "embedded" operating system, used on up to an estimated 
4 billion devices world-wide (60% share of microprocessors), compared 
to Windows' 150 million computers, and was once under consideration 
as an unfair trade barrier in US-Japan talks.
