Microsoft fully embraces the Pocket PC in enterprise server
http://www.infoworld.com/articles/hn/xml/02/04/30/020430hntopaz.xml
"ON TUESDAY MICROSOFT plans to detail a major overhaul to its Systems Management Server, featuring improved support for remote systems, integration with Active Directory, and planned support for Windows CE devices." SMS Server is a backoffice product, like Exchange 2000 and SQL Server 2000, that allows network administrators to remotely manage, configure and update computers connected to an enterprise domain.
"The new Win CE support will allow users to manage non-PC Windows devices, including Pocket PCs and other types of embedded OS devices, such as Windows XP embedded for point-of-sale applications, according to Hamilton. In talking to customers, Microsoft found that 'not only are employees using pockets PCs, but the Pocket PCs are actually being used to run the company. There is mission-critical data on the Pocket PCs that has to be up-to-date, has to be secure, and is what people use to do their jobs,' he said."
Hmmm.... "Pocket PCs actually used to run the company." :-) Yes indeed. 2002 is going to be another great year for Pocket PCs.
