Transmeta's Crusoe Processor Certified by Microsoft Corp. for Windows CE .NET Operating System
SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 21, 2002--Transmeta Corporation (Nasdaq:TMTA) today announced that the company's energy-efficient Crusoe processors have been certified by Microsoft Corp. for the Windows CE .NET operating system, allowing new opportunities for Transmeta in mobile and embedded markets.
Windows CE .NET is Microsoft's modular, small footprint, embedded operating system for mobile and wired smart computing devices such as PDAs, digital cameras, printers, scanners, retail point-of-sale terminals and set-top boxes, among many other intelligent computer products. By becoming certified for the Windows CE .NET operating system, the Crusoe processor becomes part of the Microsoft approved microprocessor vendor list, enabling Transmeta's customers to develop computing devices based on the Windows CE .NET operating system.
"The simultaneous low power and high performance of Transmeta's Crusoe processor coupled with Windows CE .NET enable developers to create powerful, full-featured mobile devices and bring them to market quickly," said Keith White, senior director for the Embedded and Appliance Platforms Group at Microsoft.
Windows CE .NET provides developers with a robust, real-time embedded operating system for building the next generation of mobile, small footprint smart devices.
"We expect Crusoe's certification by Microsoft for the Windows CE .NET operating system will start a wave of new designs using Crusoe in embedded devices," said Dr. Matthew R. Perry, president and CEO, Transmeta Corporation. "Transmeta is committed to seeking out new markets where its Crusoe processor's unique combination of power-efficiency and performance can improve the end user computing experience."
Transmeta and Microsoft have worked closely together on other projects in recent years, including development of Microsoft's Tablet PC platform, the basis of the next evolution in notebook computing. Later this year, major computer companies are scheduled to roll out mainstream Tablet PC products based on Microsoft's vision.
