why isnt WM5 more backward-compatible than it should be?
there is this other thread that somehow sparked some inquisitive nature, and it being being off-topic, id like to move it over here...
http://www.aximsite.com/boards/showt...d=1#post854134 http://www.aximsite.com/boards/showt...d=1#post854136 http://www.aximsite.com/boards/showt...d=1#post854137 http://www.aximsite.com/boards/showt...d=1#post854152 it is basically trying to answer why the Windows Mobile Team never tried to exert a little extra effort in making their OS more backwards-compatible than it should be... we have a change in CPUs, apps dont work... we have a change in OS, apps dont work... moreso the long line from WinCE to Palm-size PC to HPC to WM2003SE, and now to WM5... i mean, what would happen to our software investments if each and every two years that a new OS comes up, we have to buy upgrades? as ive mentioned in my previous posts (noted above), my ol' MS-DOS 6.0-based apps still work with my WinXP Pro SP2 setup... what gives? is this, as I see it, more greed?  | |||||||||

I use to be part of a forum for the Casio E-100 (1999) on WinCE 2.11 and there were discussions similar to this and the answer broke down to stability/speed/memory. By getting rid of as much backwards compatibility as possible in theory in makes the OS more stable, smaller install, etc.

it would seem that there is a discussion regarding this question in another site... quite timely...
http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/foru...b422f57926a245 wherein it points to an MSDN blog at: http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/...06/477999.aspx .... at the moment, ill try to read through this first, and post my thoughts later... | |||||||||
