Actually this isnt the case. M$ has an x86 WinCe in the works, and is
supposedly
running in house. M$ really wanted to avoid it, but they also really want
to get
into the embedded system market and alot of the embedded system folks wanted
an x86 version. Now will we see an x86 based consumer product? probably
not.
