The Microsoft Windows CE .NET Device Emulator is a tool that allows you to view an Emulation Project Kit. An Emulation Project Kit contains an operating system image for a Windows CE-based platform. The platform is designed to run in the Device Emulator. The Device Emulator provides a viewer that allows you to run the Windows CE .NET OS on your desktop computer without specialized hardware. The Device Emulator makes it possible to download and view a Windows CE .NET-based device without acquiring additional hardware. They are sample platforms, each with a custom skin to showcase some of the capabilities of Windows CE .NET. The Microsoft Windows CE .NET Emulation Kit Creator is a tool that allows you to create an Emulation Project Kit for your Windows CE .NET-based platform. The Windows CE .NET Driver Development Program (WCEDDP) enables independent hardware and driver developers to get to market faster with free grants of Windows CE .NET.
Oh great, so now Mackerelsoft is pretending that the “DE” in “AMIGA DE” stands for “Device Emulator” and is trying to hijack the definition for their own fiendish purposes.
Amiga will be promoting the AmigaDE under the “Amiga Anywhere” name to consumers in April. I truly dislike the name WindowsCE .NET instead just WindowsCE 4.0
Some Amiga users are even thinking of boycotting Amiga Inc, as some are thinking that the AmigaDE developer community is working with Microsoft on .NET technology, instead of just supporting WindowsCE with their platform independent technology, as Amiga Inc said it would do right from the start.
The idea is to give developers the choice of developing for the monopolist simultaniously to other solutions. Of course Microsoft does not like that idea and started their work on .NET with the hope of slowing down the competition.
Is it me or is the palm emulator more stable 🙂
