winxp embedded vs wince .net 4.2

[PCH]

What is the difference in programming for .net cf and winxp embedded?

Does embedded use .netcf or the complete .net framework?

Thanks

Think of Xp Embedded as Windows Xp, so you wouldn't used the Compact
Framework - you'd use the full .Net framework.

Ah thanks.

Any idea on the footprint.. OS/.NET?

Thanks

CE 4.x - I've seen as small as 4MB and as large as 28MB, though larger is
definitely possible.
XPe - I think the smallest is around 80MB (I'm no expert here) and the
largest is, well how big is a full desktop install of XP Pro? A few hundred
meg I'm sure.

License cost between the two is vastly different as well.
