Why Windows CE:

Thousands of embedded devices have been built with Windows Embedded products, from portable ultrasound machines to large industrial construction machinery. With comprehensive features, easy-to-use tools, evaluation kits and access to a large network of community support, Windows CE helps yield faster time to market and decreased development costs. Windows CE is optimized for devices that have minimal storage.  Windows CE conforms to the definition of a real-time operating system with a deterministic interrupt latency.
