Because Elop and MS, Nokia is forbidden to bring quad-core Meego-device with the Pureview-camera. What a great decision from Elop and the general board, good job!
Nokia deserves to die and get the next Darwin award.
Not that I'm a windows fan (today I'm actually rather far from it), but I'd like to know what you base your opinion on that Windows CE doesn't have thread safe code?
I have worked with Windows CE for many years and it is in every way real multithreading with all the typical thread safety mechanisms.
Or, do I have a different view than you do on what thread safe is?
I have no idea though whether CE today can run on multicore or not, but I wouldn't be surprised if it did.
