Microsoft actually used non-windows OSes for lots of tablet-like devices. Windows CE was "windows" in name only - IIRC it was a small custom OS they rebranded from some company they bought, much like what Apple did with the first iPod OS. PocketPC also was stripped-down, not full-blown Windows.
- kabdib 13y agoWinCE is also an architectural train wreck. It is unbelievably bad on the inside. I have personal experience with its USB stack, which is so full of layers that we couldn't get more than about 10 mbits/second out of it (on hardware capable of well over 300 mbits/second).
