Windows CE 5.0 builds on previous Windows CE releases in its adoption of shared source.

Windows CE 5.0 is the most open Microsoft operating system to date, though not all of the system is available under shared source agreements.

Windows Ce 5.0 Updates

Macallan was originally to be billed against the Windows codename Longhorn release. Due to delays in the Windows release time line caused by Windows XP security concerns, and the subsequent extended internal audit which pushed the Windows developer groups to spending time on Windows XP SP2 instead of Longhorn development. The Windows CE 5.0 release happened well in advance of heavily delayed Longhorn (not expected mid 2006).

Some of the main achievements of CE5 have been to improve the Storage capabilities of Mobile devices, as well as improving the file system that the Operating System uses.
With Windows CE 5, technologies have been made available to OEM's, particularly the Platform OEM's for the Windows Mobile 5.0 release which allow for in-place patching (QFE) of the FlashROM based operating system. In past releases OEM's needed to either issue a completely new Flash image complete with bug fixes and updates, or issue a memory resident patch, which would be lost at the point of complete power failure.
This technology should see consumer Windows Mobile 5.0 devices reach a new level of security and robustness, though at the time of writing on devices are commercially available which make use of the technology.
One speculative wish that hasn't been addressed for the Windows CE 5.0 release, is a solution to the Storage Card / Internal Memory separation. Where by all volumes are mounted as unique entities in the main fling system, rather than being seen to augment main memory. Despite the apparent difficulties with achieving this - when approaching it from the view of the Windows filing system architecture, this is something that the original Pegasus team said they would address back in 1996 after the Windows CE 1.0 release.

CE5 will compliment Longhorn in other ways. Through the adoption and refinement of new and existing communications protocols, Macallan supports the Smart Display Remote Protocol (Codenamed Mira), allowing the CE5 based 'remote display' device to act as an extension to the desktop PC workspace through the use of the Remote Desktop Protocol.

Improved developer tools are also part of the Windows CE 5.0 mantra. For the first time in the history of Windows, Microsoft has opted to provide Platform Builders the ability to view and modify over 2.5 million lines of the Windows CE source code. Named the Microsoft Shared Source Directive (MSSD), device developers can make custom modifications to the underlying makeup of the operating system, without any obligation to share those changes back to Microsoft. Unlike the Open Source world, dominated by the GNU GPL concept. Platform Builders are not obligated to share their modifications with other OEM's or competitors.
Work has also been undertaken on the expandability of the Platform Builder. Cd-rw gce 8527b driver download. New ways of integrating technological advances that emerge post CE5 RTM have been tackled. This new functionality will allow OEM's, for the first time to incorporate new hardware technology specifications into their devices, even if the original CE5 platform doesn't support it. 802.11i, 802.11n and WPA2 are all examples of augmentable technology which can be written into the Platform Builder.

A certain amount of device 'intelligence' is also incorporated into CE5. Improved UPnP support will make devices location aware, better supporting different networks and security systems. A new system called Location Services will allow applications on the device to adapt to the users physical presence. For example having one layout while at home and a more formal ergonomic layout and display of information while in the office.

For the mobile gamer the Macallan release promises to provide significant advancement. While DirectX subsets have been incorporated into Windows CE since the 3.0 Platform Builder refresh. CE5 boasts full DirectX 8 Direct3D support in the form of Direct3D Mobile. Allowing mobile devices and game developers to make use of advanced 3D graphics.
