Windows CE 6.0, the latest version of Microsoft's embedded device operating system, has been released to manufacturing -- "RTM" in Microsoft lingo.
The new version sports updates to the architecture, including the ability to support up to 32K processes with 2 GB of virtual memory per process. That compares to a limit of 32 processes with 32 MG of virtual memory per process in version 5, according to statements on a Microsoft blog.
In addition, CE version 6 also supports both a kernel mode, as well as a user mode, driver model ? with "strict partioning" of modes. As for modes, kernel mode driver support is included to enhance performance, while user mode drivers provide stability, according to the blog post.
