Windows CE 5.0 foresees big tech advances
eWeek | at | by Mike
Microsoft this week announced Windows CE 5.0, giving us a stronger sense of where Microsoft is driving that platform. Windows CE is the core platform that lies underneath the Windows Mobile products, which include PDAs and cell phones.
It was called CE.NET in its last iteration, a mistake that fell out of the lemminglike behavior at Microsoft during the dot-com years, when everything had to have a .NET after it. The trend, fortunately, stopped just short of renaming the men's and women's restrooms Men.Net and Women.Net, and this release indicates that Microsoft has returned to a more reasonable naming convention.
