     @arstechnica So, THIS was getting support until now, but Windows 10 only gets less than two more years?

     @arstechnica The Sega Dreamcast utilized Microsoft's Windows CE as an optional OS in the late '90s. This move aimed to entice developers with a familiar platform for porting PC games. Though not all Dreamcast games used Windows CE, its presence highlighted the system's adaptability, especially when paired with its built-in modem for online play. #technologia #libertas #privitus
