Unfortunately it's still not dead: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsembedded/en-us/windows-embedded-compact-2013.aspx http://www.microsoft.com/windowsembedded/en-us/windows-embed... The target markets are pretty limited: obviously not smartphones, not automotive infotainment, really just vertical devices (industrial control panels, portable inventory/barcode scanners) WinCE 6 is still used widely for car radios, especially by the cost-sensitive Asian suppliers (but not as much by OEs/tier-1s who are all going QNX/Linux). Unfortunately MS hasn't kept supporting it with new toolchains, VS2008 is the newest version that can target CE5/CE6. Microsoft was once dominant in high-end infotainment, now they're not even trying to compete.
