This is indeed an incredible change of the market place. Regarding Microsoft -
ISI has signed an agreement to distribute WinCE with its pRISM+ development
environment.

I doubt that WRS has plans to deliver on this agreement, which in turn could
cause legal trouble with Billy-boy.

Hello Leonid,
I doubt that this agreement is uptodate.
The CEO changed, ISI Design Center returned to its old name Dr. Design, ...

This should not be a problem for WRS!!!

I heard that Gupta was asked this question and said that this referred to an
agreement to develop for WinCE at Dr Design if requested by customers and it
never has been. WinCE heads the way of Bob.
