I have completed writing the book on developing device driver for Windows CE AKA Windows Embedded Compact. If everything goes right April the book is out.

The first feature that I like most is not really a feature of the system but rather of Platform Builder, the BSP templates. This really is a neat feature enabling BSP developers to jumpstart a new BSP. The second feature that I like is the ability of an OEM of either an ARM or x86 architecture based devices to support 3 GB of RAM and the kernel detects it “automatically”. At last you can support multicore based devices, even though I’d still prefer to have this support available to the developer to control, but that will not happen.

This is my first post here so I’ll be brief. Just testing the capabilities of Live Writer and thinking about a short article I have in mind on the new feature in Windows Embedded Compact 7: Filter device drivers.
