I suppose. It just gets old people talking about Windows reliability and basing everything on Win3.1/Win9x code base. NT/CE are very stable products and are no more likely to crash than Unix. We have some NT4 & Win2K servers here that haven't been rebooted in months. |
Well, Ed, I guess when even Gates said at Comdex ... " ... Bill Gates issued a confession to the computer world this weekend, saying Microsoft's software crashes too often and is too hard to use..." we all tend to joke quite a bit about it.
CE might be stable, but there's no shortage of discussions on all this and other boards about the amount of resetting both soft and hard done to the PPC devices. Sure, it might be poorly written software at times, but what about when it is Media Player or other "official" programs that take the machine down?
Personally, I reboot my machines enough on my own because I like preventative medicine... Just my own paranoia after owning DOS boxes, 3.1, 95, 98, 98SE, 2000 boxes, I guess. :P
Happy tapping... the life of a PDA User.
