Operating Systems > Not Quite Mainstream OSes

Disgusted at Windows CE

(1/3) > >>

XXXL Feet:
I hate Microsoft once again.  I'm sick of the way Micrsoft makes their products.  Why does MS make a disposable, non-upgradable, yet $400-600 OS?  This is all Windows CE is.  Why does anyone want this crap?  In two years, you have to throw your PocketPC away and buy another one to stay current.  IT'S JUST SUPPOSED TO BE AN ORGANIZER!!!

Laukev7:
Apparently PocketPCs have less battery life than Palms.

jasonlane:
Does anyone know if QNX is in any PDA, or likely to be?

Laukev7:
Some managed to run QNX on iPaqs, it seems.

You don't have to throw it away to stay current. My Ipaq 3670 still keeps track of my schedules just fine. And OS upgrades are up to the manufacturer of the device, probably due to specialized hardware. Ipaq had an upgrade from Pocket PC to 2002, but most other ones didn't.
