Windows CE security?

Heh, hardly.  I can't go into specifics, but let's just say it's still
alive & well in the banking & point-of-sale industries.

If you can say, what are they selling that uses windows CE??? I thought
that product died off long ago.

Maybe he means, because it runs WinCE, you can't patch it, so don't
concern yourself with what's behind the curtain.

Does anyone have experience testing Windows CE, or references to
materials about it's security?  We've got a vendor who's made the
statement that "Since our shiny box runs Windows CE, it's not really a
security concern."  While that's obviously not true, I'm having trouble
finding information to backup my concerns.

Thanks
