Embedded XP?

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

According to Cringely’s latest at InfoWorld, the soon to be released Dell PDA’s will be running an embedded version of Windows XP, not Pocket PC 2002. Could that be what’s keeping the price down? Should be interesting to compare the two I would think, although I think I’ll stick with PocketPc 2002 for my Xmas gift. I don’t like to be the guinea pig for new stuff, I’d rather have the one I know works!

By the way, thanks to Erik Noble for the head’s up on the InfoWorld columnist feed.

I initiate the server deploy and it starts ok, it gets to 100% of “copying files” and then just hangs. It does nothing from there…

  • Attracting the wrong attention

    Apparently, putting IE7 as a Technorati tag attracts the attention of someone from ieproviders.com, who leaves comments about the search providers you can plug into the search bar in IE7 even when that particular post has nothing to do with searching. So I’m giving them the attention they crave over there, by exposing them. 🙂…

    I’ve written before about my reluctance to use Google Calendar because my whole schedule is in Outlook and I have used Yahoo’s for keeping my wife informed on my calendar because Google doesn’t have an easy way to synchronize with Outlook. I thought today when I saw a link to this post about Remote Calendars…
