WinCE is not even Win98!WinCE is not even Win98!Posted Jan 23, 2009 1:54 UTC (Fri) by i3839 (guest, #31386)In reply to: WinCE is not even Win98! by khim Parent article: Mobile Linux at linux.conf.au
Windows CE might be crap and useless, but it's still MS Windows. Win98 doesn't run modern MS Windows apps either. Point being, some version runs on ARM. No idea how hard it is to port a modern version to ARM though, surely they got enough money and manpower to do it.

You are right, of course... Posted Jan 23, 2009 22:16 UTC (Fri) by khim (subscriber, #9252) [Link] Win98 doesn't run modern MS Windows apps either.And that's why systems capable of running Win98 are thrown away - there are more Linux systems then Win98 system in most countries! Some are not so modern and are still using Win98-capable stuff (Office XP, etc) - these are used. Where programs incompatible with Win98 are common - there are no Win98... Point being, some version runs on ARM. No idea how hard it is to port a modern version to ARM though, surely they got enough money and manpower to do it.They can port it to ARM but they can not port all the applications - and Windows without applications is useless...
