Nektar,

I'm building .NET Framework 2.0 applications using Visual Studio 2005 and the POS .NET SDK - this is working extremely well for me.

The SDK will install and run on Windows XP, if you have Visual Studio installed then the SDK will also install. The application you generate will run on Windows XP and Windows Embedded for Point of Service.

You can get the WEPOS Eval kit from http://www.windowsembeddedkit.com - you can also download the POS .NET SDK right now and start coding (there's a link in this blog post.

Why isn't the package available for .NET 2.0? It runs only on .NET 1.1. Are you going to create a 2.0 version as well?
Where can you test and buy Windows Embeaded for Point of Sales? Is there a demo version? On what hardware does it run and in which markets is it available?
You should really advertise this software of yours more.
