Hi Mike,

Nice article. I was always facing this question. Always people get confuse thinking that both are one and the same. But are different.

Thanks

Hi Mike,

just a quick question (two actually):

1)Is DirectX9c supported in XPSP2Embedded? (I'm about to start writting an application and I'd like to know if I will be able to deploy it on XP embedded).

2) Does CE6.0 support Directx9c ?

Thanks a lot for your time and patience with my basic questions,

very best

ps: it'll be for x86 cpu board.

DirectX 9.0c is supported on Windows XP Embedded (it's one of the components in the XP Embedded component tree).

Windows CE supports DirectX closer to the DirectX 8 level, with some CE specific technologies.

So does it mean that it is not possible to add an intermediate NDIS driver to windows mobile kernel? In Wince the same is possible!

Windows Mobile does allow applications and drivers to be added to an existing device (they will need to be appropriately signed) - there are a number of 3rd party hardware components supported by Windows Mobile.

An OEM doesn't have the ability to add/remove any of the underlying operating system components to a Windows Mobile device image, for example not having the ability to remove the media player or internet browser or removing the networking stack.

Why is the clsid {6bf52a52-394a-11d3-b153-00c04f79faa6} defined on the Windows Mobile 5 OS but not on Windows Embedded CE 5 OS? This is the clsid for media player.

Thank you for this article. You mentioned that "Windows Embedded CE is a hard real-time". Can you say something about real-timeness of Win Mobile 5.0 and Crossbow?

Mike — Thu, 01 Feb 2007 19:12:30 GMT

Windows Mobile 5.0 and Windows Mobile 6 are both based on the Windows CE 5.0 operating system kernel, this means that the underlying operating system is real-time. Real-time refers to the ability of an operating system to respond within a known timeframe to hardware interrupts. A real-time device is made up of components that include the hardware, drivers and interrupt handlers, the operating system and applications - of course an application developer can write bad code that doesn't respond to user input in a timely manner, but that doesn't change the underlying real-time kernel of the o/s.
