Followup on an old story, quotes for entertainment only. Compare and contrast:

"We're going to invest literally billions in driving Windows CE to be the same type of standard on these devices as it is on the PC," Gates said at the cable confab.

That calls for a big WinCE. But later:

"There's no need for paranoia," Gates noted, promising cable operators they would have complete control over how Microsoft software appeared to their consumers.

I'd advise the cable guys to pay heed to to Andy Grove on that one. Who knows when the integrity and uniformity of the WinCE experience will raise its ugly head.

Cheers, Dan.
