It's OK. Are you also

typical in defending something meritless?

``Well, guess what? Windows CE has been out for years
without a virus - seems like a long time to wait to finally
have the OSS Symbian hackers create a Windows CE proof
of concept virus. ''

Win CE has been promoted as the ``embedded'' solution of
the MS platform and it has been used largely in embedded
devices that are NOT connected to the Intenet.

Well, guess what as soon as it was connected to the
internet, its inherent problems surfaced. No surprise here.

You can also search for the infamous BMW incident where
Asian officials got stuck inside their BMW when the win CE
crashed and refused to start the engine or open the car
doors/windows.

That was alot of fun.

PS. BTW, the world of computer technology does NOT end
at the office s/w on the pc platforms. PCs are only a
MINUTE part of computer technology.
