Windows CE Device Emulator Goes Shared Source

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the giving-something-back-not-always-bad dept.

An anonymous reader writes "It seems that Microsoft has released their device emulator for Windows CE under a shared source license making it available to experimentation and teaching. From the article: 'The Device Emulator can be built as a standalone Windows application, or as the default emulator within Visual Studio 2005 running under the Device Emulator Manager, according to Microsoft. A 473 KB compressed file containing the Device Emulator shared source code is available for download' on the Microsoft site."

    Walmart's trying to emulate Open Source? No, wait, I mean, Microsoft's trying to emulate MySpace? Sorry, too many articles about too many vile scumbags pretending to be cool in too short a period of time. I'm getting them all mixed up. :)

    It is not productive for slashdotters to repeatedly discuss the same thing over and over. The purpose of an article is for us to

    • Ridicule Microsoft
    • Advocate FOSS
    • Karma whore with Wikipedia links
    • Promote copyright when it applies to GPL
    • Attack copyright when it pertains to video/music/text/images
    • Bitch about hardware defects
    • Crack stupid jokes and perpetuate failed memes

    Now, could you please RETRACT this article and reassign all relevant comments to the previous article. Thank you.

  5. Does it emulate WinCE freezes by throwaway18 · · Score: 3, Funny

    Does this emulator freeze or go wonky every couple of days like real WinCE devices?

    Has anyone ever seen a WinCE device that dosn't fall over frequently?

    perpetuate failed memes... I would never do that however,
    your ideas intrigue me, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

    I think that the Slashdot story queue should be made shared source. Maybe that would help prevent these dups.
