-Despite the name, the "Windows CE" on the Dreamcast was not very "concise". Coming only on game discs which needed it, Windows CE on the Dreamcast was primarily a sort of "SDK" or "layer" to make porting games easier on developers. However, in theory, it is possible to port actual EOPs to the Dreamcast using this Windows CE setup, with the 2nd and last links detailing someone's attempts to do this with a proper desktop shell. In these links, the author describes the code compiling perfectly and actually running on the Dreamcast, but it crashes on boot. For all we know at io55, this could be very easily fixed, resulting in a Windows CE shell on the Dreamcast!(!!!) People have already ported Internet Explorer (below) to the Dreamcast using Windows CE, so this could actually be possible!
