Jeff Alexander: Windows 7 has some great tools for migration from previous operating systems. Some that come to mind are Deployment Imaging and

many of my mates in the community is the ability to boot natively to a VHD. This gives you flexibility in your migration scenarios and is one way you
can preserve your settings from the previous OS installation.

Trolltech has started shipping a preview version of Qt that supports Windows CE as a build target. The Qt toolkit allows desktop applications built on
Qt to be recompiled for Windows CE with minimal changes, according to the company.
Qt is an application development framework intended to let
developers compile binaries for various platforms -- Windows, Mac, Linux, and now Windows CE -- from a single C++ code base. Its API (application
programming interface) comprises some 400 C++ class libraries, and is consistent across all supported platforms, Trolltech says.
<...> Pre-release downloads of Qt 4.4 are available on Trolltech's website,
here . A link for the latest technical preview of
Qt for Windows CE had not been provided at the time of writing, but more information should be available from the company's website,

get involved without having to worry about major costs (free SDK but the image will be time-bombed). If you’d like all the juicy details on the
