I don't think "real OS" is a recognized term rather than something you
made up on the spur of the moment.

Also I'd like to see you set up a Raspberry Pi with a pile of sensors
and a wireless beacon, sending out 1 update per second for 1 full year
while powered by a watch battery: ti.com/sensortag 

Small processors still matter.
