Why Pocket PC isn't WinCE - Microsoft | |
|
||
| Time: 14:58 EST/19:58 GMT | News Source: The Register | Posted By: Bill Roach | ||

When is Windows CE not Windows CE? When it's part of Pocket PC, it seems. Last week we wrote about Microsoft's move to allow WinCE licensees not only access to the operating system's source code, but modify that code and release the changes in commercial products (see Microsoft licenses WinCE source code for commercial use). As a result, we said, "Pocket PC manufacturers will now be able to tailor their system software to better differentiate their products". Not so, says Microsoft, in a rare moment of pro-active clarification. "PocketPC [is] a separate layer of code on top of the core Windows CE OS... Pocket PC is based on Windows CE, but it's a different offering." | ||

| This is good news, personally... I'd rather not have to deal with supporting "HP Pocket PC" different from "Toshiba Pocket PC" different from "Dell Pocket PC." |

| Looking at the article, it appears that with the Pocket PC offering, none of the "Pocket PC" code (which includes Windows CE) is available to license for modification, even if the desired modifications would alter only the Windows CE code. |
