== Description ==
Unlike most bootlegs which usually edit an existing Windows distribution, 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 seperatelyseparately 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 Messenger component while the Webpad version was built with the E-mail POP3 Client component instead. The image names are exactly the same inas the ones from 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 theLOADCEPC's 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.
 
There is nothing else of note to document in this section, aside from it being the first Windows CE bootleg to ever be in the archive.
 
== Changes from Windows CE ==
* None. They're all stock
 
== Notes ==
=== Remarks ===
* There is a VESA test executable which prints all of the available screen resolutions that your VBIOS can support. This is preincluded alongside LOADCEPC when making a boot disk thruthrough the Windows CE Platform Builder.
