Windows CE was not sold as a standalone product. It was an OEM product that various people would use to create products on an embedded computing platform. There was a version of it that ran on a PC - not unlike the Android dev platform - to help customers develop their own CE applications. That came with the OEM Adaptation Kit. I don't think CE was used in a palmtop after version 2.1. Several PDAs used versions out to 4.2 or 5.0, but after that the whole PDA thing died out in favor of smartphones. I'm not sure if 6.0 is the new kernel - I know that all versions up to 5.0 used essentially the same kernel, but thereafter they decided to go with more of an NT-lite approach, because certain customers were not happy with the 32-process limit in the original kernel. I think you're going to have a hard time finding the kit, because it was an OEM-only product. However, looking on eBay I see at least one development board that "comes with" CE 6.0, whatever that means. I shipped CE 4.2 and 5.0 as the kernel test manager. Cheers -- Ian

I believe what you are looking for is the SDK itself. Check here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsmobile/bb264327.aspx You can do most/all development tasks using the SDK, including running/debugging your app on the included emulator. If you're planning on actually releasing a product for the platform you will want to get as many different actual devices for thorough final testing (not all hardware is created equal) I never thought I'd see the day when WinCE became a 'classic' ... 8-) cheers -- alex ----- Original Message ----- From: "Derrick" <rmx44 at aim.com> To: "On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts" <cctalk at classiccmp.org> Sent: Thursday, January 16, 2014 1:08:29 PM Subject: windows ce looking to find windows ce. mostly what i come up with are devices that have windows ce on them or i find the software that was installed along side windows ce. i would like to find windows ce 6.0 if possible. i would like to play around with it. maybe someone even has a windows ce 6.0 palmtop or something even

Like the other comments, I'm not aware of an agnostic release only product specific upgrades/releases that came out. However you might poke around " www.*betaarchive*.com/"quot;, not sure if they'd have it but it's worth a look. Otherwise you may have to search around for a download for your specific desired product. It was also mentioned that Microsoft did release a Windows Mobile emulator package for developers (I believe it's free) where you could test Windows Mobile 5/6 which may be close to your desired OS. I suppose you could also check xda-developers.com if someone has ripped it and created a custom image. I've done that from time to time to install a custom firmware or better edition of windows mobile or xandroid on my HTC phones. On Thu, Jan 16, 2014 at 3:08 PM, Derrick <rmx44 at aim.com> wrote:
