Microsoft's Windows CE, an operating system that was used in various devices such as netbooks, PDAs, and ATMs, has reached the end of support after 26 years. Initially developed as a low-power reference platform, Windows CE faced challenges and was often criticized for its limitations. Over the years, it evolved into different versions and found its way into smart displays and automotive systems. However, it never gained widespread popularity and support for the latest version, Windows Embedded Compact 2013, ended on October 10, 2023.
Microsoft's Windows CE, the dedicated operating system for embedded and pocket devices, has reached the end of its support lifetime. The OS, which debuted in 1996, had fluctuating fortunes and was eventually replaced by a unified platform based on Windows 8. The last version, CE 8, reached its end of support earlier this month. While Windows CE will no longer receive updates, it can still be purchased for use in point-of-sale devices and other embedded hardware.
