Familiar Windows Platform Price and computing power Size and functionality Non-PCs Mobile Entertainment and multimedia Embedded Desktop Laptop Server PCs NetPC

And... our Non-PC Arena Strategy  Provide familiar, underlying software platform based on industry standards for non-PC devices - the Windows CE operating system  Deliver products to enable OEMs, IHVs, and ISVs to develop new categories of devices  Build a team of hardware and software support companies  Unite the various Windows CE devices

Windows CE Designed for intelligent digital appliances

Vision For Windows CE Entertain Platform to make better devices Access to information Improvecommunication

Myth: Windows CE is a stripped down version of Windows 95 Reality: Windows CE was built from the ground up using the Win32 API set as a new platform for information appliances

Myth: Windows CE equals Handheld PCs Reality: Windows CE is a modular, configurable OS that is the basis for many radically different devices

Myth: Java OS is more successful than Windows CE as an embedded system Reality: Over half million Windows CE devices have shipped, over 28 OEMs building products, and an order for 5 million set top boxes from TCI. Java OS design wins have resulted in 1 shipping product (UB networking card).

Windows CE v2.0  Designed for wide range of devices  Compact, highly-portable, resource- constrained  Provides each device family with appropriate services  Applications  User interface  Connectivity

New Device Categories  Embedded - vertical handhelds, terminals, industrial controllers, etc.  Keys are hardware platforms, development tools, OS performance, “application-specific” developers  Mobile market - Handheld/Palm PCs, smaller/larger versions  Keys are PC connectivity, ease of use, low power, low cost, applications  Large ISV community absolutely critical for success

Windows CE Architecture Principles  Language-independent, Windows-compatible APIs and programming models  Componentized and ROMable for best fit of memory and features  Built-in communications to PCs, the Internet, and other Windows CE devices  Easy adaptation to many kinds of devices and memory ranges

Componentized And ROMable  Windows CE systems can be built from the kernel only on up to devices with full kernel, USER, GDI, communications, and shell  System can execute in place from ROM or be loaded in or paged in RAM  Embedded Toolkit allows maximum flexibility in selecting the right components for a given flatform

Enabling Deliverables  For OEMs, IHVs, ISVs: Windows CE 2.0 Embedded Toolkit for Visual C++  new product to spur embedded development  Microsoft’s first retail entry into embedded market  For ISVs, OEMs, IHVs: Windows CE add- in Toolkits for VC, VB, VJ kits  Familiar development environments for application development  More on these later...

H/PC Update

Communications  Connectivity to Windows desktops, the Internet, and other Windows CE-based devices  Supported protocols include TCP/IP, PPP, SLIP and IrDA  Subsets of Windows Sockets, Win32 Serial APIs, TAPI, WinInet, Win32 Remote Access APIs  Communication hardware is determined by OEMs and IHVs

Communications  Communications features  Secure sockets  Wireless TCP/IP improvements  SLIP support  Ethernet NDIS driver and SMB redirector for LAN connectivity  DHCP protocol  WinInet for HTTP, FTP  IR connection to printers, Windows  Installable TAPI Service Providers  ActiveSync

ActiveX Controls, Visual Basic, And Java  Small subset support of the ActiveX Controls (COM/OLE) APIs  In process COM servers, free threaded  OLE Inplace between applications  OLE Automation, storage API subsetted  Java support:  Componentized Java VM  Based on JDK  “Pocket Visual Basic” support:  Enables scripting of forms and ActiveX Controls

Shells  Some Windows CE-based devices will have shells and some will not  Many vertical devices may just have a dedicated application  H/PC includes a Windows 95, Windows NT 4.0 “look and feel” shell  Taskbar, shortcuts, desktop, etc.

Remote Connectivity  Remote Access APIs provide a Windows desktop with access to Windows CE OS  Used to manipulate object stores primarily  Transfer files, synchronize databases  Remote networking allows for direct connection to PC and dial-up connections to the Internet, PCs, and servers  Open synchronization API
