Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R2 Successor

Hi folks,

some of you might have already heard or read the rumors around the successor of Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R2.
The lucky ones, who were at the Tech Ed in the US and visited the pre-conference sessions, would be able to tell if the rumors were true. That is if the information was not under NDA - which it is.

You can imagine that for a blog like this, this turns out to be a Catch-22 situation - like being caught between a rock and a hard place. Especially, as we are not even able to comment the rumors - not without risking to reveal some of the information.

All I can do at the moment is to assure you that as soon as we can give out any information we will.
So stay tuned, either to this Blog or to any of the official blogs, to find out more in the near future.

So long and thanks for all the fish!
