@Teddy Cineas,

We are working on providing more information about Windows Embedded Compact 2013. In the meantime you can refer to this blog (blogs.msdn.com/.../david-campbell.aspx) for some more details. Please feel free to ask us any questions you may have.

@wil,

Currently we don't plan to support mixed-mode debugging in this release. Also, you cant use WinDbg + SOS (from desktop CLR) will not work with NETCF in this release.

@roger and Michal,

Unfortunately due to the extensive changes made to both Windows Embedded Compact 2013 and Visual Studio 2012 to align in this release, using Visual Studio 2012 with Windows Embedded Compact 7 (or earlier) will not be officially supported.

Will debugging managed applications (i.e.g NETCF 3.9) support mixed mode debugging? More generally, will debugging support on the embedded target match the desktop experience. Could I use Windbg with the SOS extension to do my .NETCF debugging?

I second Rodger. Please do support application development (aka Smart Devices) for prior versions of WCE/WEC with VC2012 as upgrading deployed devices to new OS is rarely feasible. It does not need to be with new compiler either.

That are really good news. Are there any plans to support Windows Embedded Compact 7 with Visual Studio 2012? Since things move slowly in the embedded world, we still have CE 6 and are now moving to EC 7... C++11 would be very nice!

@Moritz,

Thanks for your feedback. We are not planning to bring full desktop MFC experience in Windows Embedded Compact 2013. For example the MFC will not have the feature pack additions. Having said that, we are listening to your feedback and will definitely include it in our planning process. So keep them coming!

This is great news! Especially for MFC developers! Will it then be possible to have the full desktop MFC experience usable in Windows Embedded Compact with only less modifications, or will you only update Windows Mobile MFC ? It would be great to simply have the same MFC on desktop and on the embedded devices using Windows Embedded Compact 2013. Please give a quick feedback about this. It's a killer feature for MFC developers seamlessly enabling easy application development on the desktop and on the arm embedded POS devices. Again great news! Greetings, Moritz

Very nice. Using the current VC9 compiler (which doesn't even have TR1, let alone any C++11) is quite painful in the embedded world.

Is there any word when we will get a CTP for WEC2013?
