Linux id developed by thousands of companies and individuals around the world.VxWorks is primarily used for real-time embedded applications. Linux is multi-purpose, used from anything from servers to desktops to embedded applications.
What is VxWorks?

What is the Embedded OS available in the market?
There are several popular embedded operating systems available in the market, including FreeRTOS, VxWorks, and QNX. FreeRTOS is widely used for its lightweight design and real-time capabilities, making it suitable for microcontrollers. VxWorks offers robust performance and is commonly found in mission-critical systems, while QNX is known for its reliability in automotive and industrial applications. Other notable mentions include Linux-based systems like Yocto and Raspbian, which provide flexibility for various embedded projects.

Which operating system is more used in embedded system Linux or Windows and why?
Linux by a country mile. It is far ahead of Microsoft in the number of embedded devices running some version of Linux.Why? I'm not sure anyone can accurately answer this. I can propose possibilities though, such as:1) Linux is Open Source, thus easily customized to your embedded device of choice.2) Linux kernel source code costs you nothing but your time.3) Linux is reliable.4) Millions of people know how to use Linux.5) Millions of people use Linux and have no idea they are even using it (eg Android phones, MeeGo devices etc.) so it is tried and true.6) etc, so on and so forth ad infinitum...
