Windows CE Overview
This chapter describes the operation of the Allegro CX Microsoft
™
Windows

CE .NET version 4.2. The operating system has a
similar look and feel to a desktop PC Windows operating system.
Windows CE is designed for small, portable hand-held computers
like the Allegro. Windows CE .NET gives the Allegro the ability
to communicate and share information with Windows-based
computers and the Internet by using ActiveSync.
Windows CE .NET offers the following features:
Compact operating system and application fi le sizes
Advanced power management
Communication fl exibility
Graphic user interface similar to Windows 98/2000
Packaged programs, including PTab Spreadsheet, WordPad, and
Internet Explorer
Multiple applications can run simultaneously
Windows CE .NET has the same Windows interface you are familiar
with if you have used Windows on your desktop PC. You will
fi nd that you already have much of the knowledge you need to
use Windows CE .NET effectively. This chapter is written with the
assumption that you have a working knowledge of Windows.
Starting Windows CE .NET
The fi rst time you insert the battery pack into the Allegro you must
fully charge the batteries (see the Quick Start Guide). While the
Allegro is charging, you can turn it on. The Allegro loads and opens
to Windows CE. It takes a moment for the desktop to appear and
remain on the display. Various screens appear during the loading
process, which do not require any action.
