This changes everything...
My rep called me this morning to announce this. He also told me the target was set-top boxes. So I called up Time Warner Cable and demanded the inclusion of Windows CE 6 in my set top box. I warned them that my MCSDs were about to reverse engineer their set top box and install CE 6 regardless if they liked it or not. I told them that I am the master of my house and I am demanding the full blown CE eXPerience when I watch TV. My rep came over with some top-Top-TOP MCS developers and showed me a prototype of a Windows CE cable box. The eXPerience was unreal. Due to the early stage of the product, we had to reboot the set-top box every 10 mins. But when it was on, it was unreal. When the CEO asked why we were having a cable TV demonstration during work hours, my rep threw him some pressure-packaged shirts and told him to join in the eXPerience.
