I had problems with WinCE.  This is sort of a long story, so don't read if
yer not interested. :~)

    When I recently went to visit family in Seattle, I went to the new EMP
(Experience Music Project).  You may have seen it on MTV; there was a large
grand opening concert, and it is a huge, interactive museum dedicated to all
kinds of modern music.
    Well, when you go inside & pay for your ticket, they strap a big battery
on you, to which is connected a PersonalPC running CE (hey, someone at M$
has a lot of money in the EMP).  It's got an infrared network interface on
the front, and at different museum exhibits, you can point your PC at a
node, and dowload a story, song, etc...it's really cool.
    The only problem was that the PC required 3 reboots while I was there,
which require a staffer to put a jumper on the bottom (inconvenient, and
yes, I realize that as a personal owner you would not have to find someone
to reboot your machine).  Just remember, it's an M$ product, and you know
how that goes.  :~)
