WindowsForDevices has published an extensive interview with Scott Horn, director of marketing for Microsoft’s Embedded Devices Group, in which Horn discusses the embedded marketplace in general and Microsoft’s strategic roadmap. The interview is interesting to developers for its discussions of the embedded market as a whole, and for the view it provides of Microsoft’s competitive strategies.

I wish the PDA operating systems weren’t so ridiculously limited. PDAs are just downsized computers with kindergarden software options. MS products make this especially bad. “no this is an embedded OS therefore we’ll only have welfare develpment tools that can be hosted on it”.
On the other hand with something like linux, people get a real OS, with opportunities to do real work. Yet linux isn’t available on any decent PDAs. And if it, those are only sold in japan

If I understand this rant right. You are saying you want development tools on your PDA. Does anybody else find this a stupid thing. I mean who is going to develop anything on their PDA?
If you were talking about Development IDE’s for PDA’s. Visual Studio .Net 2003 supports development for PDA software. Last time I checked that is the best IDE out there. Beats the heck out of any of the compeditors.
Sadly that’s about the level of OS.news journalism now.
