'''Manley Evangelista's Windows CE Bootable CD''' is a bootleg [[:Category:Bootlegs based on Windows CE|Windows CE]] boot CD distributed by Manley Evangelista. It released on August 3, 2013, and was added to the archive on February 26, 2023. It used to be made available as a MEGA download on a YouTube video of his titled "Running Windows CE on a Dell laptop" with the original filename of "WinCEBoot x86.iso".
 
== Description ==
Unlike most bootlegs which usually edit an existing Windows distribution (especially 32-bit ones), this one is a DR-DOS 7.03 based boot disk of 4 Windows CE versions which are booted using the LOADCEPC.EXE program which loads the kernel into RAM and boots it directly from RAM on the system. All of the images here (even DR-DOS) are all from the HPC Factor website, which were originally distributed seperately in their own bootable VHD images.
 
On the first boot, you get detailed instructions on how to operate the boot disk and take advantage of its included executables along with a listing of the available Windows CE versions.
* Windows CE 5.0 (named "WCE50" on the CD)
 
The difference between the so-called "PDA" and "Webpad" versions of Windows CE 4.0 .NET included on the CD is that the PDA version was built with the (Windows or MSN whatever you want to call it) Messenger component while the Webpad version was built with the E-mail POP3 Client component instead. The image names are exactly the same in the HPC Factor website as well.
 
Then, there is a disclaimer for the first version that warns the user that the aforementioned version may not display correctly as the emulated display driver doesn't support the VESA standard, even though the images themselves were made in question for Virtual PC's enhanced S3 Trio64 emulation, which included special features related to VM integration.
