Feature by Feature Comparison: Microsoft® Windows® CE .NET vs. Windows CE 3.0
January 2002 - Microsoft
Abstract
The following is a comparison between Microsoft® Windows® CE .NET and its predecessor, Windows CE 3.0, using the Windows CE .NET catalog as the basis for comparison. Windows CE .NET represents a major milestone for embedded developers. It is the robust real-time operating system for rapidly building the next generation of smart mobile and small footprint devices. Delivering significant technology gains over its predecessors, Windows CE .NET offers embedded developers a wide range of functionality and flexibility when designing embedded systems. Some prominent new features include:
- Increased granular componentization
- Rich integrated browsing and multimedia capabilities
- Improved Real-time Support
- More comprehensive driver support
If you are interested in learning more about the overall benefits of Windows CE .NET or the new and enhanced features, please see the Windows CE .NET Overview, or What's New in Windows CE .NET.
The Windows CE .NET product catalog of optional features forms the basis for comparison between the latest version of Windows CE and its predecessor. For reference purposes, the names in the Catalog column of the table below map directly to the product catalog, so those sysgen variables that appear several times in the catalog do the same here. Futhermore, indentations indicate the deep tree structure of the product catalog, as do instructions to choose one component over another. Because any required features are not exposed in the latest catalog, they are not addressed in this comparison guide. Please note that because this document was created prior to the final RTM release of Windows CE .NET, it may not include every feature or sysgen variable that will ship with the final product. |
