Microsoft Windows CE Resource Kit
Windows CE is a 32-bit operating system that was designed to fill the need for a small, scalable OS that can work in a wide range of products, including mobile computers, terminals, industrial controllers, set-top boxes, and many others. Windows CE can be customized by selecting from a set of available software modules when building a custom embedded device. This approach minimizes the memory footprint and maximizes performance of the OS. Windows CE features popular Microsoft programming interfaces and is supported by standard application development tools. In addition, Windows CE is a preemptive, multitasking operating system to handle the high performance needs of real-time devices.
