Windows Embedded CE 6.0 - New Features

New Features

  • Some system components (such as filesystem, GWES (graphics, windowing, events server), device driver manager) have been moved to the kernel space.
  • The system components which now run in kernel have been converted from EXEs to DLLs, which get loaded into kernel space.
  • New virtual memory model. The lower 2 GB is the process VM space and is private per process. The upper 2 GB is the kernel VM space.
  • New device driver model that supports both user mode and kernel mode drivers.
  • The 32 process limit has been raised to 32,768 processes.
  • The 32 megabyte virtual memory limit has been raised to the total virtual memory; up to 2 GB of private VM is available per process.
  • The Platform Builder IDE is integrated into Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 as plugin (thus forcing the client to obtain Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 also), allowing one development environment for both platform and application development.
  • Read-only support for UDF 2.5 filesystem.
  • Support for Microsoft's exFAT filesystem.
  • 802.11i (WPA2) and 802.11e (QoS) wireless standards, and multiple radio support.
  • CE 6.0 is compatible with x86, ARM, SH4 and MIPS based processor architectures.
  • New Cellcore components to enable devices to easily make data connections and initiate voice calls through cellular networks.

Famous quotes containing the word features:

    “However much we may differ in the choice of the measures which should guide the administration of the government, there can be but little doubt in the minds of those who are really friendly to the republican features of our system that one of its most important securities consists in the separation of the legislative and executive powers at the same time that each is acknowledged to be supreme, in the will of the people constitutionally expressed.”
    —Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)

    “The features of our face are hardly more than gestures which force of habit made permanent. Nature, like the destruction of Pompeii, like the metamorphosis of a nymph into a tree, has arrested us in an accustomed movement.”
    —Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
