Windows CE, Microsoft’s stunted middle child, reaches end of support at 26 years

We've already covered the end of life of Windows CE, but Ars has a short but interesting look back at the history of this undeservedly unloved operating system.

It was a proto-netbook, it was a palmtop, it was a PDA, it was Windows Phone 7 but not Windows Phone 8, and then it was an embedded ghost. It parents never seemed to know what to do with it after it grew up, beyond offer it up for anybody to shape in their own image. And then, earlier this month, with little notice, Windows CE was no more, at least as a supported operating system.

I will never forget Windows CE.
