Legacy Update: Get back online, activate, and install updates on your legacy Windows PC

The Windows Embedded CE 6.0 Platform Builder Service Pack 1 Tools helps address some areas of the Windows Embedded CE 6.0 toolkit impacted by Windows Vista™ enhancements and also helps improve other aspects of the toolkit.

• During the development of Windows Vista, several key investments were made that were designed to improve overall quality, security features, and reliability of the operating system. Microsoft made significant efforts with Windows Vista to help ensure backwards compatibility. Some of the system enhancements, however, such as User Account Control, changes to the networking stack, and the new graphics model, behave differently in Windows Vista than in previous versions of the Windows operating system. These enhancements impact the Windows Embedded CE 6.0 toolkit. Windows Embedded CE 6.0 Platform Builder Service Pack 1 helps addresses areas of the CE 6.0 toolkit impacted by Windows Vista enhancements.
  
  •Many of the Windows Vista enhancements are documented at the Windows Vista Development Center.

  This service pack also includes:
  a) updates that help improve the hardware debugging experience
