Is the .NET Micro Framework a real-time operating system?

No, nor is it intended to be. Managed-code environments such as the .NET Micro Framework perform garbage collection on memory. As a result, they are nondeterministic systems that are not suitable for real-time applications in and of themselves. However, the .NET Micro Framework can run on a host operating system. If the host operating system is a real-time operating system (RTOS), it is possible to obtain real-time behavior.
