Windows CE Networking - from NDIS to TCP to SOAP to VOIP and everything in between.
The new name for Windows CE is Windows Embedded CE 6.0. Some of the marketing guys are unhappy when I call it only "Windows CE", never mind WinCE or just CE. Though I really really doubt any of you would be confused or care, I'll call out officially that all these are the same thing. Only the MBA who has taken a lot of classes in branding really cares about this stuff :).
Yamazaki was the code name for the CE6 project. If you catch me calling it Yamazaki in public that does merit a wrist slap as branding is confusing enough as-is.
If it's any consolation, it's not just "Windows Embedded CE 6.0" that I'm bad on.
I still catch myself calling the Vista team "the NT guys" and stuff of theirs that we port (like MSXML) lives in E:\nt on my hard drive. So maybe in 6 or 7 years I'll finally get into the Windows Embedded CE groove -- assuming they don't change the name again!
