· Unified Kernel. The redesigned Windows Embedded CE 6.0 kernel now handles more than 32,000 simultaneous processes, each with 2 GB of virtual memory space. The new file system supports larger storage media and file sizes (up to 4 GB), and removable media encryption.
· Drivers. Production-quality device drivers help decrease the amount of modification needed for drivers to work with custom hardware, and enhanced driver support in CE 6.0 helps ensure easy portability. Drivers can be run in kernel mode for performance or in user mode for robustness.
· Security. The redesigned one-tier security model is SDL compliant and helps ensure that only trusted applications can run on your embedded device.
· Compatibility. CE 6.0 works with key processor architectures (x86, ARM, SH4, and MIPS) and, with its compatibility testing tool, has features to help port existing Win32 applications.
· Device Performance. Improvements to the kernel architecture have greatly reduced the overhead of system calls between base OS services, resulting in improved operating system performance.
