Microsoft Windows Ce
Windows CE 5.0 builds on previous Windows CE releases in its adoption of shared source. Since 2001, Microsoft has been steadily expanding the available Windows CE source tree with embedded system developers. Windows CE 5.0 is the most open Microsoft operating system to date, though not all of the system is available under shared source agreements. Developers have the freedom to modify down to the kernel level, without the need to share their changes with Microsoft or competitors.
The Windows CE operating system is designed for mobile devices such as PDAs, cell phones and some GPS systems. When you need to update the Windows CE operating system on your GPS, you can easily get the most updated versions of the OS by using the Windows Update center on your Windows 7 or Vista computer.
Windows CE 5.x is the base OS for Windows Mobile 6.0, 6.1 and 6.5. On the x86 platform, Windows CE 5.0 competes against Microsoft's other embedded operating systems, Windows XP Embedded and its predecessor Windows NT Embedded.
