Whats Windows CE?

Windows CE integrates advanced technologies to rapidly build a wide range of innovative, small-footprint devices small-

Reliable real time capabilities Shared Source program Technology portfolio depth Low total cost of development Customization and differentiation of devices Community collaboration Low Cost Licensing
Toolkit: $995 US (ERP) Run-times: $3 16 US (ERP)

Other Goals & Expectations

Performance Goal is not to regress from Windows CE 5.0 Shooting to improve certain targeted scenarios Size Goal is not to increase footprint by >5% for same configuration Hardware Resources No additional hardware requirements to run on Windows CE 6 Existing hardware on Windows CE 5.0 fully supported New features may require additional hardware (ARMv6, etc.) Time-to-Market Tools in a familiar VS2005 environment Production Quality BSPs and device drivers Porting documentation to speed-up porting BSPs/drivers High bar & process for accepting non-essential BC changes
