Great find Dennis,
That answers the question I had about Harel Kodesh's perspective. He doesn't like CE.
The whole article is a MUST READ!

In fact, Microsoft’s top wireless executive, Harel Kodesh, left the company earlier this year after a disagreement with Mr. Gates over whether Microsoft should use Windows CE in smart phones rather than build entirely new software, people familiar with the matter say. Mr. Kodesh wanted to have a new group of software developers start from scratch, since he felt the existing software might not be best for some small phones, these people say. Phone manufacturers also needed more say in how the software would work, he believed.
Ultimately, Mr. Gates prevailed and Mr. Kodesh resigned. “It was clear that my management and I saw things differently,” Mr. Kodesh said in an interview, adding that he still thinks Microsoft can succeed in wireless devices. Paul Gross, Microsoft’s senior vice president in charge of the company’s collaboration and mobility group, declined to comment on Mr. Kodesh’s departure.
All the best,
