Right, it all depends on your point of view.  Microwave ovens
with keypad interfaces to their microcontrollers don't seem
likely candidates for a window manager, ever.

Coming from the other end, game platforms, routers(both examples
of diskless systems with lots of memory, some IO, no fan, OS in
EEPROM ) look like good candidates for dedicated systems running
an OS (gnu/uCLinux), X, and one or two userland apps.  A wm might
fit in here.
