Gee, these vendors must be all wrong when they use CE and probably don't have anybody in their company to tell them CE is outdated. CE costs something around 6$/licence for a vendor and they get all the sources afters signing an NDA. Just to give you a few examples/vendors: Siemens Touch Panel running WinCE for their HMI tool called WinCC: (go and find a few hundred other products with WinCE there) B&R panel doing the same: B&R industrial PC: (click on operating systems to see CE 6.0 and XP Embedded =Embedded Standard 2009 available) See BECKHOFF's industrial PCs equipped all with WinCE here: Also, their embedded PCs have CE In case, these names don't mean anything to you (why should they? Otherwise you wouldn't say what you said repeatedly), you might know EATON (go, find youself some devices with CE) Rockwell Automation also offers their panels with CE, find a few here: random datasheet here If you want to look further, take a look at all the TomTom and other navi equipment, medical machinery and other things.

In case if you wonder, lots of things around you are manufactured on machines operated by WinCE.
