Some of posts in this thread complain about the behavior of individual applications.
As someone with software engineering experience that predates MS-DOS, I can assure you that application software problems are more likely to be the fault of the application than the platform, in this case the Axim and Windows CE/WM.
I'm not saying that Windows doesn't have its problems. But it's the responsibility of the developer to fully test the application and code around the quirks of the OS.
Many application developers do not fully understand the OS or how to code defensively. I'm not trying to condemn the Free/Share ware community, but let's face it: some of these developers cannot even spell "QA", much less "regression".
Every time you download a new app, you're relying on the ability of the developer to not screw up your platform. It's a chance we all take. As for me, I'm amazed that so much of this stuff actually works.
However, when things go wrong, don't automatically blame the platform.
