In response to an NYT article about Windows for a small world, blogger Mike Hall reminds us that there are tons of things out there running Windows we just may not know it. Windows CE, also known by its full name "Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R2, is a embeddable OS that lets OEMs build specialized devices. Some obvious examples of this technology in action include Windows Mobile [Windows Mobile 6.1 runs on the Windows CE 5.0 operating system kernel], Zune, Microsoft Roundtable (video conferencing), and Ford Sync. However, it was Oliver Bloch who really surprised me with some of his examples of thing that run Windows CE.
