A survey of Auto PC 2.0 for software developers (continued)

While you can see that there isn't a lot of exciting new end-user features in Auto PC 2.0, it's clear that Microsoft has been focused on their immediate customer first, the OEMs who build Auto PCs. Without their support, the Auto PC won't go anywhere. From what I saw at the Consumer Electronics Show, these OEMs are going to be offering us, the end users, some great new products that take advantage of the new features of Auto PC 2.0.

Product availability and resources
You can read the press release on Microsoft's formal announcement of Windows CE for Automotive 2.0 at http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/press/2000/Jan00/WinCEAutoPR.asp.

Read last month's Windows CE Power article on the Auto PC at http://www.windowscepower.com/issues/issue200002/ces001.html.

Check out David Wright's comments in the published interview with him in December's Windows CE Power at http://www.windowscepower.com/issues/issue199912/autopc1299001.html.
