How does this impact ODIS?

In one sense, if we all knew what MSFT was really going to do, it would be nice.

So far, MSFT have said that they won't even attempt to make SQL Server work on Windows CE, the miniature version of Windows for embedded systems. But in this announcement they talk about emdebbing Windows NT (this will take fairly serious hardware and the licensing costs will be interesting).

On Windows CE, ObjectStore PSE is the most attractive persistence solution IMO (does anyone have market share figures)? On NT, it will be interesting to see what MSFT does. ODIS has the best technology. Citrix did too, and they seem to have made a lot of money by working with Microsoft and living to tell the tale.
