Microsoft Embedded CE support is still missing from Visual Studio 2010. They did not want to delay the release any longer. I am still waiting for information on that. I am wondering if we purchased Visual Studio 2010 Professional, will we get Microsoft Embedded CE as part of a Service Pack, or will we have to buy that separately? Rumor has it that Windows Embedded CE support will be released later this fall.
