<Why did you think this was a joke?>
Because I practically fell out of my airplane seat laughing when I read the literature on this.

Unfortunately I think I threw it away. I should have saved it as a conversation piece. It might still be in my carry on bag - I'll check when I get home.

I'm sorry, but if I suggested to the people I work with that we put even 2Mb ROM on our hardware designs to run CE, I don't think they'd want to work with me anymore.

The embedded world is still a relatively safe haven from the controlling hand of Microsoft. Gates can't handle this. If only he could get get control over embedded development... I think he's going to have to try a lot harder.
