We need to stop self-fragmenting and focus on putting out one that works, and works wel, and is supported and documented. My pet one: there's already too many OSes/distros available/planned for the Pi. it's not FOSS, so people have practical (limited hacking/tweaking) and philosophical issues with it. there's a lot less software, especially on the 'learning to program' side of things, but also. the benefits are few, mostly 'it looks like Windows', which can be achieved in Linux too with minimal effort nobody's really interested in paying to port it, document it, support it. Can't seem to search for 'windows ce' though. Obarthelemy wrote:Actually, this has been mentioned several times almost since day 1.

I just wanted to share my idea with the RPi community and also see if anyone has any plans to do this.Ĭomments and thoughts are more then welcome!ĮDIT: I actually found out the newest version of Windows CE, WinCE 7 has flash support. I have Ubuntu dual-booting on my machine and love it!).Īnyhoots, I am still new to the coding scene and all that, so don't expect a port from me. This would give an option to people who maybe are not willing to try Linux yet (which they should. It is pretty basic indeed, but it is simple and very easy for windows users. I have used one of those wondermedia arm MIDs, and have seen the potential of the OS. WinCE is flashed to a memory card and runs a little installer and then boom goes the dynamite, you have a Windows-Like environment. There have been many applications ported onto WinCE that are similar to the programs you can run on 95, 98, or XP.Ģ: No, it cannot run the applications that run on 95, 98, or XP.ģ: I do not believe there is flash for WinCE, but I may be wrong. The grey toolbar and stuff is all there, but there are limitations:ġ: It is not by any means on par with it's x86 bretheren. Windows CE has a user interface very similar to Windows 95 and 98. My big pitch here is this: why don't we port Windows CE to the raspberry pi? I know that it kills the notion of it being a Linux Box, but I think it would be very nice to one day have many different choices of OSes for the device. Some have 128MB of RAM, some have 256 and some even have 512 (these are more expensive and rarer). And because those MIDs are sooo common and generic, there are loads of varitions. Okay, these MIDs run a Wondermedia WM8650 ARM processor and clock at about 200-500Mhz.

These laptops (if that is what you want to call them, they're more like MIDs than a laptop). I am actually pretty surprised no one has mentioned this operating system for the Raspberry pi, but I suppose I will go ahead and do so.įor those who do not know, Windows CE is an ARM version of Windows that works on cellphones, PDAs, tablets and those cheepo laptops you see around at CVS by Sylvania.
