n4cer confirmed...

Windows Embedded actually refers to their entire line of embedded platforms. The .NET MicroFramework was even included at one point, IIRC. The identifier following "Windows Embedded" specifies the platform.

The CE-based versions of Windows Embedded are currently the only Microsoft embedded platforms that support ARM so bornagainenguin's reference to CE was correct.


Thanks for the confirmation.
