Windows Embedded CE Features

Windows Embedded CE offers a rich set of features that you can use to customize a platform. Component services, networking capabilities, multimedia support, and many other capabilities are contained within individual operating system features.

You can choose from a wide range of operating system features through the catalog items in Platform Builder. You can build a customized operating system design from a combination of these catalog items. Some catalog items require that other catalog items be present in your operating system design. Platform Builder automatically determines dependencies and adds the appropriate supporting catalog items to your operating system design.
