WinMo just past its Use-Before date
gjafg 6th Jan 2010
When they created Windows Mobile, the developers never expected it to be still used 16 years later.

Well, it started as Windows CE. Software programming got underway in 1994, and it was released 2 years later in 1996.

I think they probably used a 16-bit integer for the date. That allows them to cover a time-span of 16 years. So, if this was set in 1994, and now it's 2010...

I think Windows Mobile just went past its Use-By date.
