2. Operating System Description
Microsoft Windows CE is a scaled-down version of the Windows Operating System which has been
designed specifically for low powered portable devices like the Mini notebook. With a user interface that
anyone who has used Windows before will recognize straight away, Windows CE allows you to be up and
running with the Mini notebook in a short period of time.
The Mini notebook supports connecting to a PC via ActiveSync when running on Windows 2000/XP or
Windows Mobile Device Center when running on Vista. This allows files to be transferred, email to be
synchronised and new applications to be installed. Because of this Windows CE enhances the Mini
notebooks functionality and usability.
Note: ActiveSync is not supplied in the box, but can be downloaded direct from Microsoft at:
