There isn't much difference with it's appearance. I thought it was suppose to look more like Windows XP.

The changes are really where it matters .... under the hood.... we jump from CE 3.0 to CE 4.2 (.NET) we should see not only performance increases but more unified support for wireless (Bluetooth and 802.11b) besides they finally have people switching from Palm, which is already a slight learning curve you wouldn't want to rock somebody's world again would ya with a complete overhaul?

I think you'll find that, as usual, many of the rumours floating around are completely false.

It's looking more and more likely by now that the 3900 and 5400 will be upgradable, nothing more, nothing less.

The connection screenies look like WinXP's Network Setup Wizard, a great tool for setting up simple networks. I'd love to have that on my PDA, I hate using Pocket File Explorer to access networked drives, to fuddling.

Is Pocket PC 2003 really buildt on .NET technology?? I thought .NET was a whole new way of building an OS? I'd be glad if someone would bother to clarify the PPC .NET thing.

Straight from MS site:

Windows CE .NET is the successor to Windows CE 3.0. The latest version, Windows CE .NET 4.2, provides a new and enhanced user experience with features such as Internet Explorer 6, Windows Media� 9 Series codecs, and support for gateways and IP telephones. Because embedded systems are highly customized by the manufacturer and especially because many devices running Windows CE are not upgradeable by the end user, it is not possible for Microsoft to provide an upgrade for devices running Windows CE. If you are looking for a software upgrade for your device, please contact the device manufacturer. If you are a device developer interested in evaluating Windows CE .NET 4.2 for your next design, visit the Windows CE .NET Product Information page.

The linked screen shots show PPC 2k3 is based on CE 4.2
