Actually, to is not quite correct. For both, the companies making them have released *completely new* operating systems that have virtually nothing in common with their "predecessors", neither in name nor otherwise. Calling them a redesign or rewrite is stretching those words way beyond my imagination ;).

I think quite some people are still interested in support for their WinCE devices, and probably also some coders; Kostas was still interested in it, too, last I heard from him; and I hope he'll be available for this once again, after the current "episode" in his life is over ;).

So... returning to the subject of the thread... Was the above maybe supposed to lead to a conclusion relevant to my original questions? *ggg*. Maybe the message is "don't bother waiting for WinCE folks to speak up, just commit it right away" ?
