Nice question :-)
We chose the managed environment for our own CE-based device because it proved to be more productive and fast enough. We discussed our choice as part of an interview/case study; the link to the article is on my blog entry:

Data collection devices written in 'C' running on custom 8051 or z8 targets that communicate with Pocket PCs running eVC++ MFC applications.

Hey Mike,

Here are the results of a poll question I asked during my December 1st webcast. I wonder if it is representative for a general audience, but maybe still nice to know.

Poll Question Details for Q2
12/1/2004 11:06

Question: Which language do you prefer for managed application development?

1. C#
2. Visual Basic.NET
3. I would like to be able to use managed C++

Poll Results

Option 1:
28 = 75 %
Option 2:
9 = 24 %
Option 3:
0 = 0 %

I would have expected at least some people to ask for managed C++ but they didn't. So at least the majority of the audience during this webcast seems to prefer C#. To be honest, I have to agree with them.

It's kinda scary. I guess my excuse is that it is early in the morning and I just took the test.

My last bluescreen was in the pre SP1 time frame. Ah well, I blame it on some drivers for some vague devices I had at that time. Even though I am a CE guy and thus shouldn't admit, I am quite happy with Windows XP. And of course we need some operating system to develop our "wonderful" Windows CE solutions on :-).
