Wince is not the only embedded version of windows. I know at least embedded version coming out with winNT, so it's not really new. There's even an embedded version of winxp. #25 I think that happens already, although is just an specialized market. Wince is not the only embedded version of windows.

It's like the virus protection that's inside the BIOS. It's quite reduced functionallywise & useless. I don't see anybody taking the bios-bound antivirus as anything but a problematic app that most everyone has disable. I see the same thing with this new "idea" I see this getting nowhere.

And there is no technological reason I can't have that, right? My computer should turn on a fast as my VCR or cellphone. From perception standpoint, it should be always on. I'll say it again -- all the current OS' s are off-track... MacOS, Windows and Linux. The best "OS" I have right now is my Palm. I turn it on and it "boots" in less than a second. It almost never ever crashes. Why can't I have that on my desktop? I want instant on. And there is no technological reason I can’t have that, right?
