Don't confuse things: POSIX is a standard that describes in which way the
various UNIX derivates behave in software/user interface level, while RTOS
is an operating system that implement POSIX.
Or better, I never heard of an OS called Posix, and if it is, it's
brain-damaged marketing....

Again, Linux implements Posix too...but is far more complex (and slow)
compared to RTOS.
