What does Windows CE do for me?A Windows CE Operating system “Image” is a collection of systems software.

What does Windows CE do for me?A Windows CE Operating system “Image” is a collection of systems software.Microsoft includes in Windows CE 6.0 a choice of four possible CPU “architectures” that can be used to base your computer hardware on.

What does Windows CE do for me?A Windows CE Operating system “Image” is a collection of systems software.Microsoft includes in Windows CE 6.0 a choice of four possible CPU “architectures” that can be used to base your computer hardware on.An architecture is the structure behind a way of computing ‐ adding, subtracting and multiplying bits, and loading them from or storing them to memory.

The choice of an architecture is the starting point for the design of a computer system.

An architecture isn’t a physical thing. It’s a specification of how a CPU core should work.

An architecture isn’t a physical thing. It’s a specification of how a CPU core should work.An actual implementation of an architecture version ends up as a particular CPU core.

The choice of an CPU core (and therefore an architecture) is typically the second thing you do in defining a computer.
A CPU core is typically built in to a ‘SoC’ or System‐On‐Chip. This is a combination of a CPU Core and some support logic and peripherals highly tuned to work with that core.
