WinCE is still the basis for the operating systems on Windows Mobile
phones, Microsoft Zunes, voting machines and ATMs.  I don't believe
its going to go away at any point in the near future.

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
