very cool feature sets: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsembedded/en-us/products/windowsce/d…
Since I will be doing that I always do with these releases (makiniga functional desktop OS simply because I can) I am going to do something that might be fun for you guys. When some time permits (hopefully this weekend) and will build and deploy a platform using windows CE r3, turn it into a desktop style os, and show how i did it and document the steps as I go.
is there any interset if i took the time to do something like that for the OS news readers?
I would be most certainly interested!

ya, i wanted to do it a while ago but real life got in the way (new house, new job, girlfriend became my fiance, etc…). It looks like the first week of october is going ot be a week where i can do as I please, so i will set it up their. I will do it using VIA hardware as they have the best wince suport (Intel comes second). then again, i might use intel since thats what most of the users have, ya i will just do intel. kinda thinking outloud.
DO WANT TOO.
Please do! Mucho interested. (please also detail installation steps, I wouldn’t have the slightest idea how to install a ‘device’ OS on a real pc…)
