A Microsoft operating system whose GUI is similar to Windows 9x operating systems, that is designed to run on handheld PCs, PDAs, and other small computers.

Windows CE is the lightweight variant of MS-Windows. It offers the general look and feel of Windows '95 but is targetted primarily for hand-held devices, PDAs, NCs, and embedded devices. It does not have all the features of either Windows '95 or Windows NT and is very different from Windows 3.1. In particular, it will not run any software made for any of the other versions of MS-Windows. Special versions of each program must be made. Furthermore, there are actually a few slightly different variants of Windows CE, and no variant is guaranteed to be able to run software made specifically for another one. Driver support is also fairly poor for all types, and few games are made for it. Windows CE will run on a few different processor types, including the x86 and several different processors dedicated to PDAs, embedded systems, and hand-held devices.

The Microsoft operating system used on handheld computers made by Casio, Compaq, Hewlett-Packard, and others.

Operating system used on wireless communication devices and smaller computers such as hand-helds, palmtops, and network computers; requires little memory. 8.16

A Microsoft operating system designed for embedded operating system devices, such as handhelds, kiosks, SmartPhones, thin-client devices, AutoPC for use in automobiles, Pocket PCs, and set-top boxes.

Microsoft Windows CE is a 32-bit real-time embedded operating system (RTOS) designed from the ground up to empower the development of a new range of emerging computing appliances, including set-top boxes, digital versatile disc (DVD) drives, entertainment consoles, smart phones, highly portable and personal computing devices like handheld computers, and home appliances. Windows CE is modular, allowing use of a minimum set of software components needed to support receiver requirements. This uses less memory and improves operating system performance. Windows CE provides a subset of the Win32 application program interface (API) set, which provides an effective amount of application source-code level portability and compatibility and user interface consistency with other Microsoft Windows operating systems and Windows applications.

Windows CE, based on Microsoft Windows, is a multitasking, multithreaded operating system and is designed to be included or embedded in mobile and other space-constrained devices. Other Operating Systems are Palm OS or EPOC.

A streamlined version of Windows from Microsoft for handheld PCs (HPCs) and consumer electronics devices. It runs "Pocket" versions of popular applications such as Microsoft Word and Excel as well as many applications that are geared specifically for the smaller platform. As of Version 3.0, Windows CE was changed substantially and renamed Pocket PC.

A scaled-down version of the Microsoft Windows platform designed for use with handheld PCs.

Windows Compact Edition (CE) is a scaled-down version of Windows that is found on many hand-held computers.

A modular, real-time, embedded version of the Windows operating system designed to support small, mobile, 32-bit intelligent devices such as PDAs or, to use the Microsoft term, Handheld PCs.

The Microsoft operating system developed for handheld computing devices. Variations of Windows CE also may eventually become a platform for applications used by communications devices such as wireless phones or two-way pagers.

a version of Windows designed to run on PDAs or other small devices. CE was renamed Pocket PC with the version 3.0 release.

Scaled-down Windows operating system designed for use on wireless communications devices and smaller computers. 8.25

lite version of Windows 95 designed exclusively for pocket-sized, hand-held devices. It comes with scaled down versions of MS Word and Excel, and allows migration of files back and forth between a CE device and a PC. Based on the Win32 API set.

Windows CE (sometimes abbreviated WinCE) is a variation of Microsoft's Windows operating system for minimalistic computers and embedded systems. Windows CE is a distinctly different kernel, rather than a "trimmed down" version of desktop Windows. It is supported on Intel x86 and compatibles, MIPS, ARM, and Hitachi Super H processors.
