Because of its heavy usage around the world, and since pretty much everyone knows how to use it, Windows is a popular choice for use with hosting a VM on CollabVM. == ~~List~~ Versions== Keep in mind that this list is sorted chronologically and not by codebase as you would expect. You can fix that by clicking the sort button on the "Codebase" column. <!-- I'd recommend you NOT to add links to this table. TODO: - Add the .x versions of Windows CE 2.x and 4.x - Add Business Embedded ~~- Add POSReady, business embedded, and IoT~~ - Add Windows Starter Editions? - Add MultiPoint --> ~~<!--TODO: not mine Add Windows CE 4.1 and add descriptions for everything-->~~ <!-- Legend: COLOR: \|\| [Architecture] \|\| [Codename] \|\| [Description}] Replace with: [Image] -> [[File:(Image Name)\|25px\|link=]] [Name] -> (Name) (Type Info) -> (type styling info) \| (type name) [STYLING INFO AVAILABLE HERE ^^^^^^] [Release Date] -> MM/DD/YYYY [!!!
