Why did Microsoft develop Windows CE?
For the past few years, Microsoft has outlined its vision of “Information at Your Fingertips”, in which the idea of a personal computer on every desk and in every home evolved into one of computer-based devices in a variety of business and consumer environments. The Windows CE operating system is the result of a multi-year development effort to fulfill that vision. With Windows CE, Microsoft is providing an open, standards-based platform that will significantly lower the hurdles for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), hardware manufacturers, software developers, and ultimately, customers to adopt new non-PC technologies and solutions.
