Chris Oakes has an interesting article in "Wired News" entitled "Win CE Slowly Gaining Speed". In the article is the following quote: "There's certain functionality that you have to have in a cable set-top," said Ken Morse, chief technical officer for set-top operating system vendor PowerTV. Windows CE "[doesn't] know how to tune TV stations, for example. Under the covers, there's a lot of work that goes on ... it sounds so simple, but it's not." Another requirement of a set-top operating system is the ability to allocate different cable bandwidth for different functions, he said. In fact, the system has been so unprepared to deal with the set-top box, says industry analyst Gerry Kaufhold, that Microsoft will eventually be forced to purchase a new operating system "kernel" for Windows CE, and wrap Windows functionality around it. There is also an excellent article summarizing the state of the set top box market which agrees with most of the things Allen has said at various times in the past. Mitch wired.com wired.com
