I don't agree.

We ported our object database engine to CF and everything
appears to work very good.

....with no special hacks around CF bugs. We only had to
find workarounds for functionality that's not available.
It tooks us little more than two weeks of development time.

Performance is O.K. on CF, it's not really good but it's
acceptable, if you compare it to Java VMs.

GUI development and debugging work extraordinarily good!
Good job Microsoft!

I am sure that we will see faster versions of CF as the
platform evolves. I think CF is a good decision, if you
need to develop for PocketPC.

Kind regards,
Carl
