Why does windows mobile not run too greatly?

Ive never figured this out, even with all the time I have had a ppc. Why doesn't WM run that great? Like my old 400mhz celeron pc (which I no longer have) was better at browsing the web then my x50v. Why is this...???

well, so is the windows xp that ran on my 400mhz celeron. I really dont know why! its a stronger computer (except the ram, but it doesnt even use it all when web browsing) with a lower resolution screen, and it runs worse...

Yep! Microsoft!!

It's nothing to do with it being Microsoft. They are completely different hardware and software architectures. MHz is just a measure of cycles, not of processing power.

I agree with Howard2K. Computers and pda's are like apples and oranges:

One is easy to bring to work, but the other has a lot more juice.

Despite any stupid statements, you cannot directly compare processing ratings. Kind of like Pentium 4 vs Pentium M in laptops, M's have a slower Mhz, but run just as fast as higher-rated P4 processors.

so my crappy old 400mhz celeron is better then this 624mhz xscale? Is it THAT much faster? And stop saying because its microsoft, the windows xp on my old 400mhz celeron is also from microsoft
