Windows CE is an open, scaleable platform for a
great number of devices for communication, entertainment,
industrial and mobile data processing. Generally speaking Windows
CE is an operating system reduced to the essential, which only
needs very low hardware resources. This means, that now very
low-priced hardware components can be equipped with a Windows based
operating system.
The newly developed standard Windows CE allows the realisation of
novel devices which can communicate with each other, exchange
information with Windows based PCs and connect to the internet.
Windows CE is a 32 bit operating system with functions such as
multitasking and multithreading. Windows CE has an open structure
and supports a great variety of devices. Windows CE is compact, and
thus offers high performance even with limited memory.
