WinCE is not even Win98! by i3839

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...
