What’s New in Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R2

Marketer Says…

Developer Says…

• Includes the latest version of Remote Desktop protocol to help enable CE-based thin clients to connect using the latest version of Windows Server remote computing technologies.
• New and updated technologies that can quickly extend the capabilities of existing CE 6.0 devices that connect to Windows Servers and also to each other.

• Support for Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) 6.0. RDP 6.0: includes support for Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS), Network Level Authentication, Server Authentication, and 32-bit color graphics.

• Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R2 supports WSDAPI. The Windows Vista operating system provides native support for Windows Rally through WSDAPI, which contains a set of APIs that allow developers to build Web services applications to interact with network-connected devices.
  
• Support for Microsoft Web Services on Devices (WSDAPI) allows developers to create connected applications rapidly, thereby reducing time to delivery and improving the user experience. WSDAPI delivers rich metadata exchange and messaging in addition to built-in support for discovery, security, and eventing.
  

• The Windows Rally technologies help enable network-connected (IP-enabled) devices to connect over the network or Internet in a manner that is comparable to a physically connected device. Network-connected devices use WSDAPI and the network as the “communication bus.”
  

• Support for WSDAPI: an unmanaged code implementation of the Devices Profile for Web Services (DPWS) protocol standard.

  
  

• New Voice over IP (VoIP) technologies help enable exciting device scenarios such as VoIP, video and
  3-way audio.
  

• Additional VoIP functionality: a VoIP boot loader application and resources for QVGA landscape mode and QVGA portrait mode user interfaces, and support for Video over IP telephony calls.
  
• Support for the Pocket Outlook Object Model (POOM) and ActiveSync in the VoIP Home Screen and VoIP Contacts applications.

• R2 components can be easily added to existing CE 6.0 projects to quickly enable new device capabilities.
  

• New componentized flash driver and new partition driver for the management of flash memory. 
  

• Provides interoperability between devices with many common industry standards plus numerous Microsoft desktop and server technologies.
  

• Improved Secure Digital (SD) bus driver that supports SDHC specification 2.00 functionality, for example Secure Digital High-Capacity (SDHC) cards.
  

• Many device makers will be able to reduce the font footprint on their device by enabling the new font engine framework.
  

• Support for pluggable third-party font drivers.

  
  

• When R2 is installed, the IDE adds the new technologies to the existing list of several hundred tested components that can be quickly included in the operating system image.
  

• Support for Extended File Allocation Table (ExFAT) and FAT32 on the x86 BIOS Loader, which provides access beyond 2 gigabytes (GB) of hard disk space.
