In the enterprise environment these devices are shipped with a specific
Windows CE / Embedded Compact and stay on this version up to EOL.
Normally it is not possible update these units to newer OS versions
(only patch updates may be available) - the situation there is not
comparable with a desktop environment. Windows Embedded Compact 7 can
still be found e.g. on Motorola devices, which are introduced in the
last year, like the MC3290 or MC9290...
