Journal: Windows CE.NET 4.20 for Xbox

Artifex, Phoenix and OzXodus announced the first release of Windows CE.NET for the Microsoft Xbox console. People thought it was impossible, but this proof of concept release shows otherwise. Right now the release is still in early development stage and there's still a lot of work to be done - but all the basic stuff (kernel, IoCtl, ISR/IST, ...) is mostly working. The group also says the release can be freely distributed. The CE.NET Licensing Rights says: "Non-commercial distribution rights grant developers the ability to install a runtime on an unlimited number of devices and distribute those devices to third parties for non-commercial purposes. These rights are applicable to both Evaluation Edition and Full Version licensees." amd "A developer may create and deploy runtimes on an unlimited number of devices to share with friends as long as neither person is receiving any financial gain from the transaction." They do not exclude a possible port of Windows XP eMbedded in the future.
