(From a game developer’s perspective) The SH series was great. While they still live on in ARM’s Thumb licensing I can’t help feeling they would still be relevant with today’s compilers.

At least there's no XBox Live!(tm) yet... Oh.
Lest anyone forget, let's revisit the naming convention of Xboxen. To make my point, I will randomize the order instead of going chronologically: Xbox One Xbox Xbox Series X/S Xbox One X/S Xbox 360 They all had "Xbox Live!" more usually written Xbox LIVE At work I like to joke that any new product coming out from Microsoft should be renamed "Azure DevOps", since their goal appears to be confusion.

Are you referring to Azure DevOps Server, formerly known as Team Foundation Server / Visual Studio Team System? Or are you referring to Azure DevOps Services, formerly known as Visual Studio Online / Visual Studio Team Services? Fortunately they both support both Git and Microsoft's own Team Foundation Version Control (which luckily never changed its name). Please let me know the answer via Microsoft Teams, or if you…
You forgot Azure DevOps, their attempt at a JIRA/project management ersatz. Also Skype, that is sometimes called Lynx, or Skype for Business.
Its a bit of a tangent, but the article mentioned Windows shipping with a fax like appliance which reminds of this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2Bu5tkDs98 Millions of people must have insisted that they didn't a have a fax machine and completely missed that it was build into the computer they were using and fully supported by the fax modem in their machine.

They rebranded it when they bought Skype because everyone hated Lync so much.
Which... to be fair, Lync is the only application I've known that's dumb enough to repeat failed login attempts with the same incorrect credential until the account is locked.
Found out when I'd rotate my AD password and a box I was remoted into would promptly lock my account by trying to use the old cached auth.
Conjures images that they're all fighting to the death with spears over at the Microsoft offices.
> It was an early attempt at an operating system for a touchscreen mobile device, one that, in classic Microsoft fashion, competed internally with another project to build an operating system for a touchscreen mobile device (called Pegasus) and died out along with the rest of MAW.
"We'll pit them against each other in the Thunderdome and see who survives." Instead they both fatally stab each other.
Windows CE however DID finally make it onto a Sega SH-powered console, the Dreamcast. And only within the last decade has it become easily accessible to play those games at full speed with an open source emulator, such as Flycast, mainly due to the performance impact of implementing the MMU.
The Dreamcast did allow you to use a Windows CE-based SDK, but that was rare. Katana and Ninja were the native SDKs that you could use from SEGA, without touching Windows CE at all.
