Some info about Windows CE/Windows Mobile...
... is the topic which I plan to cover in this textbook (if the author is agree, of course). Personally I am interested in this topic since I'm a WM newcomer -- and absorb WM-related info (or, maybe, knowledge :)) with the great interest. And please excuse my mistakes. :) --212.45.8.211 22:31, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

As I promised, I've written the first three paragraphs about the WM history. To be continued... --212.45.8.211 16:46, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC) (Targi)

Clean up
This needs a expert to go through and do some real clean up to it.....I've done a few touch up but I can not really explain a whole lot

Too big a topic?
Am I alone in thinking that this book may be trying to tackle too big a topic without much real focus? Right now it seems to be a mix between some Windows history with a little bit of Windows optimisation tricks in it and a few other miscellaneous pieces of info.

Would it perhaps be more useful to take the information in this book and put it into other more focused books and delete this one?


 * Yes, I agree that more focused books might be an improvement. But which specific books are you talking about? A Neutral Look at Operating Systems? Operating System Design? Some new books specifically designed include topics discussed in this book that don't already have a place in some pre-existing wikibook? --DavidCary (talk) 04:28, 21 November 2008 (UTC)


 * I agree, it would be a bit of work but do able. I think that each OS should have it's own book. I know a lot about these systems, but I don't know if I qualify as an expret. MWOAP (talk) 02:56, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I would suggest renaming the book to narrow its scope, while permitting a redirect to Subject:Microsoft Windows, similar to how Linux redirects to Subject:Linux. -- Adrignola talk contribs 22:41, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Seems like a reasonable plan QU TalkQu 22:48, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

Google for a list
This Wikibook currently suggests that I "Google for a list".

So I Googled for "a list". But none of the first page of hits has anything to do with computers.

Please replace that tip with a more useful tip. Thank you. --DavidCary (talk) 01:58, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
