Windows 7 would bring this device...

DirectX 11
Multi-Touch support
IE 8
Good security
etc.

Wake up Engadget, Windows Embedded is the new Windows Mobile. Currently Embedded only runs on x86, but Intel is going to win the mobile CPU market, and you're fools to disagree. Furthermore, ARM and MIPs support could be added. VIA already has added support for Windows Embedded. See...

Who are you working for?]]>Nov 2nd 2009 4:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/soyeas-mid-z5-features-an-atom-cpu-3g-and-a-significant-price/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/soyeas-mid-z5-features-an-atom-cpu-3g-and-a-significant-price/
Actually, I'm unemployed at the moment. I have been working in IT for 14 years, I've never worked for Microsoft.

After learning the Compact .NET Framework (.NET for Windows Mobile) and studying the Windows CE platform changes I came to the conclusion that Microsoft isn't trying to keep up with Windows Mobile.

Microsoft has always had lots of versions of Windows, most popularly...

1) Windows (for the desktop)
2) Windows NT
4) Windows Embedded
3) Windows CE (Embedded Compact Edition)

Microsoft has migrated 3 of those 4 products to the Windows NT 6.1 Kernel (the one Windows 7 uses). Windows Mobile is a custom build of Windows CE. You can either refuse to believe Microsoft isn't unifying the kernels (like Engadget's authors), or you can accept that they are.

Why hasn't CE been upgraded yet? Probably due to a lack of mobile processor (ARM, MIPs, OMAP, etc.) support. But read Microsoft's latest CE page and you'll learn the newest version of Windows CE will contain a "Unified" kernel and "will run Customized Win32 apps". Interesting, 6.0 R3 removes support for SH4 CPUs. Which would make sense if Microsoft was moving to a totally new kernel (the one Windows 7 uses).

Now do you think I'm crazy?]]>Nov 2nd 2009 4:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/soyeas-mid-z5-features-an-atom-cpu-3g-and-a-significant-price/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/soyeas-mid-z5-features-an-atom-cpu-3g-and-a-significant-price/Nov 2nd 2009 5:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/soyeas-mid-z5-features-an-atom-cpu-3g-and-a-significant-price/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/soyeas-mid-z5-features-an-atom-cpu-3g-and-a-significant-price/Nov 2nd 2009 5:27PM
