[Windows For Devices] Under the new scheme, Windows CE .NET will be licensed according to three runtime alternatives — “Windows CE .NET 4.2 Core,” which includes a basic subset of CE .NET components and will be available at an estimated retail price (ERP) of $3; a “Windows CE. NET 4.2 Professional” version priced at $15 (ERP), which includes the balance of CE .NET other than image, PDF, and Office file viewers; and a “Windows CE. NET 4.2 Professional Plus” version, which adds the viewers.

Wow, that’s really cheap for runtime licenses. It’ll be interesting to see if this sways people from linux/vxworks.
