Windows CE Version 3.0

Windows CE 3.0 offers improved Windows compatibility, combined with hard real-time processing support. New kernel services, such as support for nested interrupts, better thread response, additional task priorities, and semaphores, let the operating system respond immediately to events and interrupts. These real-time features make Windows CE 3.0 ideally suited for industrial applications such as robotics, test and measurement devices, and programmable logic controllers.

New features for Windows CE 3.0 include:

Shorter Interrupt Service Routine (ISR) latencies
Support for nested interrupts / Increased priority levels / Support for semaphores
Windows CE 3.0 provides interprocess communication support with COM and MSMQ
Support for larger data storage systems (up to 256 MB)
Support of a subset of the Microsoft Cryptography version 2.0 API
Lightweight remote access server (RAS) support
An Embedded Web Server that provides many of the features of Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS).
