http://ASTF.TK Here I discuss in my usual stuttering speech the differences between The ARM Platform / processor (Acorn Advanced RISC Machine) With the x86 platform processors. Windows CE is normally put on ARM processors because it takes less computer RAM / memory because most of the arm processors, although energy efficient, is overall slower than the x86 counterpart such as ARM Cortex vs Intel Atom. Currently, Google Android Linux , Windows ce is put on ARM based devices and has become very popular these days. The x86 Processors are much stronger and popular in modern computers as well as more expensive, but they are less energy efficient and used in big devices rather than the smaller sleaker ones. In short, the x86 chips are for power while the ARM chaips are for efficency but the newer ARM cortex is pretty powerful. Now, going to the differences. The BIGGEST problem with windows ce embedded that runs on an ARM computer is that there is no Adobe Flash Player that runs on it. The newer ce as flash lite but very few products uses this OS. The video will explain more. Essentially, All the programs and applications that runs on x86 processors will NOT run on ARm processors.

  • You looked like you've got some serious contempt with Windows CE, bad experiences?

  • @Spirrwell

    Actually, its my favorite mobile OS. I've tried Android, Windows Mobile, Debian Linux, etc but Windows CE stands out as my favorite. The only thing I don't like about it is the ugly GUI.

  • Hey! I made flash-games for WM in 2007!

  • @rhov233

    Wow. That's cool.

    How does it run on the mediocre processor?

  • Can these things run the existing windows ce software for the pocket pc/ Hpc? Has anyone here actually tried it?

  • @christo930

    I just  sent you my software pack.

    It can run most CE 5/6 software and some PPC software.

  • Hi, I have a NEC MobilePro 790 and 900 and I can't figure out how to sync with Windows 7. I tried Active Sync and WMDC but none are compatible. Do you have any ideas? PS: They do work with Windows XP.Thanks.

  • @WatchCharmedOnline Oh I guess it just seemed that way since you were comparing to Windows on an x86 processor, ultimately it's superior, but Windows CE and other mobile systems are meant for mobile devices and Windows x86 versions are meant for x86 devices.

  • @ascolti

    microsoft did in fact open the source of windows CD 6.0 distributed under the shared source license

  • Hi dear.
