An anonymous reader writes "WindowsForDevices reports on the keynote talk at Microsoft's Windows Embedded DevCon (developer conference) taking place this week in San Diego. The story includes some interesting comments and highlights from the talk. Don't miss the cool bit about the ARM7-based 'SPOT' development platform that runs a tiny version of the .NET Compact Framework -- Microsoft is demoing a robot that's run by SPOT. There's also a pointer to an online video demo of a project to create a digital picture frame using Win CE."

Heh, what a time saver Slashdot is! Not only can you avoid R-ing TFA, you can even skim the summary and have a knee-jerk reaction.

I thought at first that it said "demoting" to indicate the new status of the robot with .NET among its colleagues.
