The next version of Microsoft's Windows Mobile operating system is currently codenamed "Crossbow". While there have been a few screenshots that have leaked out here and there, Mobile-Review has posted an in-depth look at the next version of the operating system.
"The system requirements haven't changed about - 32 Mb Flash ROM, and 32 Mb RAM. Though the most typical memory volumes for devices will remain 64 Mb ROM and 64 Mb RAM, with ROM size topping out at a couple of gigabytes, depending on model. The new operating system features the same CPU requirements, implying that stable operation is possible at 200 Mhz – as for the very first impressions of managing the Crossbow, the system's performance has gotten better, as apps and tools are loading somewhat speedier now, and this isn't only my personal point of view, everyone who had a chance to play around with the OS interface noted that"
