Microsoft Windows CE 4.20 - McKendric

Released in April 2003, Windows code name McKendric became the most widely adopted edition of the Windows CE .net series. It was the only edition to be converted into a Windows Mobile Platform with the release of Windows Mobile 2003 some two months later.

The CE 4.2 release is a core OS release, and as such lacks the integrated Pocket Office applications akin to its Handheld PC Platform predecessors All of the viewer applications made a welcome return in CE 4.2, with some very minor modifications.

By the release of Windows CE 4.2 only one manufacturer was actively developing a Clamshell 640x240 program. OEM's were at liberty to release hardware specifications of their own choosing, which provided some freedom for devices released under the 4.2 lineage, however the release was destined to be nothing more than a niche market product.
