Window CE .NET has a wide range of development tools including Embedded Visual C++ and Visual Studio .NET. These tools allow very complicated applications to be built at a low-cost and a considerable reduction in processing power. This aspect combined with Microsoft's new marketing policy enables Windows CE .NET to build low-cost devices.

With a complete operating system feature set and comprehensive development tools, Windows CE .NET contains the features developers need to build, debug, and deploy customized Windows CE. NET-based devices.

The platform development tool, Platform Builder, is a fully integrated development environment (IDE) and includes a software development kit (SDK) export tool.

Windows CE .NET supports Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++® and Microsoft Visual Studio® .NET, providing a complete development environment for building Web services and applications for the Microsoft .NET Compact Framework, a subset of the Microsoft .NET Framework on the desktop. With these tools, developers can rapidly build smart designs running rich applications on the latest hardware.
