WindowsCE is identical to the Windows desktop operating system. The only difference is that several functions have been removed in order to make the OS smaller, faster, and more stable. It's no different than the other versions of Windows that you run on your desktop or laptop. The PocketPC OS is a highly modified WindowsCE version, which is why WindowsCE .NET has been available for quite a while now (7 months?) and why there hasn't been a PocketPC OS upgrade. You can flash WindowsCE .NET onto your PocketPC, just like you can flash Linux onto it, but then it will no longer be a PocketPC and it will no longer run PocketPC software.

No! Windows CE was designed from the ground up to be mobile - it is not identical to PC Windows.

Also, mere mortal users can't flash WinCE.net onto their devices, sure it may be possible, but now your inviting a flood of questions HOW CNA I RUN WINCe.NET ON MY IPAQ!!!!11111

The next release of CE.net is going to be binary compatible with PocketPC 2002 applications too.
