I've always wanted to play with this. I think it was used for the dubiously useful "Windows Sideshow" gadgets that were briefly pushed when Vista came out.
From what I remember it was briefly licensed to third parties but was never commercially successful. I'm really glad it was open sourced instead of being killed entirely. If nothing else would be great to use in some educational settings.
One technical caveat: it's called the ".NET Micro Framework" which implies it's language-neutral (like the rest of .NET) but it's actually interpreted and understandably only supports C#.
- timthorn 16y agoWhilst it does only support C# presently, it does use a subset of the CLR, so it isn't tied to C# by definition.
