When I did contract work for the US Army we used cisco network gear and the computers ran windows embedded — no spinny hard drive meant quick boot up and very reliable. Of course there wasnt much pron you could view over a microwave link but it worked.

They did apparently get most of the bugs out of Windows CE (embedded)...many GPS’s and automotive nav systems use it. My wife’s car uses it, and it has never crashed (both Windows CE and the car!).But the reputational damage was done. I was one of many millions of people who participated it Windows CE’s beta test...by paying hundreds of dollars for products based on it starting 15 years ago.
