Microsoft jumps back into sub-notebooks By STEPHANIE MILES, CNET NEWS.COM nytimes.com After a two-year pause and uninspiring sales, Microsoft is reviving its Windows CE sub-notebook line, which will relaunch tomorrow as the Handheld PC 2000. ... The company said this week's launch is part of what will be a regular, 18- to 24-month release cycle for the Windows CE-based devices. But the low-profile debut of the new HPC 2000, especially when contrasted to the hype surrounding Microsoft's April release of its Pocket PC personal digital assistant (PDA), raises questions about why Microsoft is devoting resources to the relaunch of a product that never sold in large volume in the first place. I've got to give Bill credit for not giving up. If it were me ... I'd pick my shots more carefully. Being everything to everyone is a doomed strategy if I've ever seen one. Hasn't he heard that the ten or twelve (or however many) Windows OS's are dead? Poor Billosauras "Rex" Gates. "B"-Rex. He doesn't get it. LINUX ... PDA's to Crays ... and it's FREE!
