Sephiroth Posted May 24, 2002 i have heard of this windows CE, even saw a system with it on it. so i am going to ask, what the hell is winCE? is it like win2000/XP/NT or more like win95/98. or is it a muilti-colored turd that billgates shit out? Also just out of curiosity would doom and its ports run on the thing 0 Share this post Link to post

fodders Posted May 24, 2002 Windows CE is based on the Microsoft Windows operating system but is designed for including or embedding in mobile and other space-constrained devices. Although Microsoft does not explain the "CE," it is reported to have originally stood for "Consumer Electronics." Windows CE is used in several brands of handheld computers and as part of cable TV set-top boxes built for TCI. It competes with EPOC and also with similar operating systems from 3Com (for its PalmPilot) and other companies. Like the full-scale Windows systems, Windows CE is a 32-bit multitasking, multithreading operating system. Microsoft emphasizes that the system was "built from scratch" while taking advantage of Windows architectural concepts and interfaces. Microsoft argues that Windows desktop system users will find that products with Windows CE provide a familiar user interface. In addition to handheld computers and cable TV boxes, Windows CE is also offered as the operating system for the Auto PC, Microsoft's concept of controlling applications (such as selecting radio channels) while driving, using interactive speech technology. 0 Share this post Link to post
Weedster Posted May 24, 2002 Hmmm, what about "Console Electronic"? On second thought, no. 0 Share this post Link to post
fraggle Posted May 24, 2002 Windows CE is a small operating system developed by microsoft for use on palmtops and similar small systems. It has a similar user interface and API to the normal desktop windows, but it is a completely different operating system and will not run on your desktop/laptop. Of course, I run linux on my palmtop :) 0 Share this post Link to post
