I'm going to have to disagree. We have several customers (that BTW are not
Chris Tacke) that have implemented commercial applications using the CF.
I've talked with other companies that have implemented very good PPC
applications based on the CF prior to knowing me or OpenNETCF, so we're not
some "recipe for success".

OpenNETCF.org has a case study on one, and Microsoft has many others. I've
seen many CF apps outperform eVB for like functionality, and debugging is
far, far, far better.

I'm sorry to hear you're having such a bad experience. Yes there are some
limitations and areas that the CF team could have done better on, but I
still believe this is the best v 1.0 product Microsoft has ever delivered.

Writing code is simple. Writing good code is not. Add to that the
challenges of limited resources, processor power and memory, and mobile
development is some of the most challenging to do well.
