No, that's a misunderstanding. Windows CE is indeed intended for hard
real time embedded applications. Look for example at the recent newsstory
on its adoption for a multi-million unit High-definition cable TV gizmo.
Actually the story is hot news, because MS is desperately trying to get
people NOT to adopt the new HDTV standard, and instead adopt the (inferior
from a TV point of view) PC standard, and these new cable boxes will not
properly accomodate HDTV, but that is not, I think beccause of any
*technical* limitation in Windows CE.
Whether CE is a reasonable Ada target from a business point of view is
quite another matter ...
