The targets for Win CE are all familiar ones (e.g. x86) so it certainly would not be impossible to create a Win CE port. As with other Microsoft products, probably the biggest problem would be Microsoft's annoying habit of keeping things secret (e.g. NT is the only kernel based system where the kernel interface is secret, and the debugging formats are secret). Still people have (with effort!) managed to figure out many of the details for NT, and probably Win CE would be no worse. Probably the most practical approach is to try a GNAT port. We have had no customer interest in such a port so we have not investigated this, and as far as we know, no one else has worked on a GNAT Win CE port.
