Microsoft to preview new mobile Windows CE (5.0)

"Microsoft is set to release Monday a beta version of an update to its Windows CE operating system for handheld devices, set-top boxes and other limited-function computing devices.

The Technology Preview Kit for Windows CE 5.0, formerly code-named Macallan, will be provided to developers attending the Embedded Systems Conference in San Francisco. Microsoft plans to make it available for download later in the week through its Microsoft Developer Network site for embedded developers.

Windows CE is a stripped-down version of the Windows operating system intended for use on computing devices other than PCs and servers. It's the basis for the Windows Mobile software used in handheld computers and runs an array of special-purpose devices, from automotive systems to sewing machines."
