That's about 15 years and nine attempts
[Edit: reading further I've found Windows Mobile 2003 (and, I assume, 2003 SE) was based on CE 4.2, so numbers 5 and 5.5 should become 4.x and following numbers reduced by one]

- nl 16y agoWindows CE -> Windows Mobile 6.5 is all the same codebase. It doesn't matter anyway - adages are just rules of thumb. The point is that Microsoft isn't as bad at creating good products... eventually. Think about these: XBox, Bing (esp travel search), C#, F#, etc Try WinMo7 - it's quite impressive and different to the iPhone or Android.
