Purpose

The Microsoft Windows® CE Resource Kit is designed to provide you with information to assist with selecting the right tools for the job, deploying large numbers of Windows CE-based devices, and supporting many devices in an organization. This document will continue to evolve rapidly over the next few months as we incorporate more details about third party enhancements to PC Companion devices, as well as Microsoft information. If you have suggestions for information you would like to see here, please email wceedit@microsoft.com with "Resource Kit" in the Subject line.

This document will focus on Windows CE-based PC Companion devices, specifically Handheld PCs and Palm-size PCs, as well as Windows CE Services providing synchronization functionality on desktop or laptop PCs.

People who can benefit from this document include:

• IT professionals gaining a deeper technical knowledge of the capabilities of PC Companions, understanding their companion role versus with desktop and laptop PCs, and obtaining content to be used within their own deployment plans and internal support organizations.

• Consultants, developers, and systems engineers searching for technical product information and third party products needed to provide a complete business solution.

• Support engineers looking for answers to customer problems.

• Business decision makers trying to understand the direction of the Microsoft Windows CE platform and which PC Companion devices and third party products fit their business needs.
