I added the Gizmondo to the list of game systems that use Windows CE. Does the Tapwave Zodiac use it as well? -- M.Neko 06:25, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
No, the Zodiac is a Palm OS device. The Zodiac is also more of a PalmOS PDA designed for Gaming than it is a custom emebedded game console like the Gizmondo was. In addition to playing games, its still a full normal PalmOS PDA. The Gizmondo was not designed like this, though it was eventually hacked to allow third party Windows CE apps to run and after its death it turned into more of a WinCE PDA thanks to the user community.

I'd like to know if this is really true: is Windows CE a trimmed down version of Desktop Windows ? Isn't it a major rewrite ? It is stated in the paragraph:
No, No, No, No, No - The screen shot is of the Windows CE 2.11 *BASED* H/PC Professional, not Windows CE 3.0, or even the Windows CE core itself. I'll try and fix it when I have a moment.
Microsoft(R) Windows (R) CE, Handheld PC Edition Version 3.0 Core System Version 2.11
I wish I had one, but all I could find was this Jupiter thing. Obsolete OS's are always hard to find, especially those special-purpose ones like WinCE. -- tyomitch 09:19, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
There is a "Relation to Windows Mobile, Pocket PC, and SmartPhone" section, but the relations ar still hard to understand. There is considerable variety of Windows Mobile and Windows CE implementation. Some versions/variations tree can help. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 194.84.64.31 ( talk • contribs) 12:02, 13 November 2005 (UTC).

Is there somewhere I could find a comparison between the Microsoft CE OS and its competetors? (mostly i'm interested in Palm) Some of the stuff here is pretty technical and over my head, and the interface features of CE are somewhat lacking from this page. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 204.38.32.5 ( talk • contribs) 20:19, 1 February 2006 (UTC).
For those who are wondering, I'm not completely clear if all of these articles warrant merging into the main Windows CE article. However, there needs to be a comprehensive "history" page for Windows CE in the same way that Microsoft Windows references History of Microsoft Windows, which references various version of Windows (e.g. Windows 1.0, Windows 2.0, etc.). Just working on Image:Windows CE Timeline.png was a huge headache, and dictionaries are supposed to remove these kinds of headaches. McNeight 00:08, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
Oppose merge, each is a unique release and deserve their own articles like the larger windows releases and the individual OSX releases. Gateman1997 04:49, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
Isn't PIE a "program" for Windows CE? Just inappropriate to merge, as it is not part of the shell!
Ideally, they should seperate. RN 09:51, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
Since it seems to be pretty clear that seperate articles are warranted, I'm removing the tags, but those who say they warrant seperate pages really needs to get on to making CE 2.0 and 4.0 (I believe) articles. Radagast83 18:32, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
It supports 256 priority levels and provides for priority inversion.
Priority inversion is not a good thing; it's not something you "provide", it's something that wreaks your system when it happens. I imagine this is supposed to mean that CE provides "priority inheritance" or "priority ceilings" for dealing with priority inversion. Or maybe, it just lets priority inversion happen; I don't know.
I thought CE stood for Century Edition.
That is not true. It doesn't stand for anything. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.254.40.134 ( talk) 09:43, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

According to the Sega Dreamcast page, the Dreamcast did not run Windows CE, but _could_ run it. In that a few games used Windows CE but the game and operating system were on the gamemedium, not the console. Furthermore, according to the forementioned article, the performance when using Windows CE was worse then when using the native Dreamcast operating system. When I read the current Windows CE 3.0 article, I immediatly thought that _the native_ Dreamcast OS was Windows CE 3.0, which it appears not to be.
This article claims that Magic Cap is the foundation of WinCE. Have any of y'all seen any other citations of this assertion? Or verifiable sources? -- moof 15:31, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Windows CE is the OS on many touchscreen GPS devices from several manufacturers. Transplant GPS uses it on their RightWay product line. Their RW200 model runs Windows CE Core 5.0, according to a label on the back. Mio is another company which uses WinCE. There's a 3rd party freeware addon pack called MioPocket which adds many programs and features to Mio and some other WinCE running GPS devices to convert them into full-featured PDAs. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.58.129.132 ( talk) 02:39, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

"Late versions of Microsoft Visual Studio support projects for Windows CE / Windows Mobile, producing executable programs and platform images either as an emulator or attached by cable to an actual mobile device". This sentence is quite ambiguous. Is it saying that the produced executables can be executed on an emulator or on the actual mobile device? Why is "attached by cable" thrown in there? Does the cable have to be attached for the program to run or is this an attempt to cram information regarding the method of transfer into this sentence? -- DarrenW ( talk) 12:42, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

User Tabdiukov stated that the screenshot /info/en/?search=File:Microsoft_Windows_CE_Version_3.0_(Build_126)_cmd.exe_Command_Prompt_800x574.png used in this article shows a third-party solution, this is wrong.
This screenshot actually contains 2 software components:
These 2 components can be found from Windows CE Platform Builder released by Microsoft, particularly the references can be found in source file PUBLIC/COMMON/OAK/FILES/common.bib
and PUBLIC/SERVERS/SDK/SAMPLES/TELNETD/telnetd.cpp
; unfortunately Microsoft didn't release the source code for cmd.exe and console.dll, only the pre-compiled machine code for each architecture that supported by Windows CE, in PUBLIC/COMMON/OAK/LIB/<ARCH>/
.
So please stop saying it "third-party", it was not.
