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.

    It’s one of the areas of working in IT, specifically on the helpdesk, that no one ever prepares you for. They don’t cover it in the tech magazines, they don’t talk about it on tech podcasts, and you don’t hear much about it when you’re training for your career, but at some point, you will…
