Applied Microsystems and BSQUARE Ally to Provide Software and Tools for Intelligent Device Development.Business Editors/High Tech Writers REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 12, 2000 The Partners Now Offer Comprehensive Software-Hardware Approach for Developing Devices Based On the Windows CE (Windows Consumer Electronics) Microsoft's version of Windows for handheld devices and embedded systems that use x86, ARM, MIPS and SHx CPUs. Windows CE .NET superseded Windows CE 3.0. and Windows NT Embedded See Windows XP Embedded. Operating Systems Operating systems can be categorized by technology, ownership, licensing, working state, usage, and by many other characteristics. In practice, many of these groupings may overlap. Applied Microsystems Corp. (AMC (Advanced Mezzanine Card) See AdvancedTCA. ) (Nasdaq:APMC APMC Application (Server) for Mail and Calendaring APMC Asia-Pacific Microwave Conference APMC Advanced Program Management Course APMC Amicale Philatélique et Marcophile Colmarienne APMC Afloat Personnel Management Center ), a leading innovator in software development solutions, and BSQUARE Corp. (Nasdaq:BSQR) have agreed to cross-reference each other's products. Both will now be able to provide their respective customers across-the-board, one-stop shopping for development of Windows CE- or Windows NT-based intelligent computing devices. The broad solutions now offered include everything a developer will need for expediting a project, including operating system operating system (OS) Software that controls the operation of a computer, directs the input and output of data, keeps track of files, and controls the processing of computer programs. licenses, software development tools, software engineering services, platform testing, application verification, emulators, debugging tools, and more. This agreement helps developers of products as diverse as mobile networked computers, set-top boxes, Web-aware telephones, and other Internet-related products, to save time in two different ways: 1) One-stop shopping means they will be able to acquire everything they need to get a project up and running more rapidly; 2) Immediately thereafter, the ease-of-use and power of the AMC's and BSQUARE's tools will allow them to develop their applications faster and more efficiently. AMC will refer its customers to BSQUARE's Windows(R) CE licensing capability, Windows CE and Windows NT Embedded professional engineering services, CE Xpress(TM) Platform Development Kits, and CEValidator Quality Assurance tools for the two Microsoft operating systems The following is a list of Microsoft operating systems.

One of the biggest advantages of the alliance will be the complementary nature of the two companies' products and the availability of complete development solutions for the customer. In a typical development scenario, developers will use a combination of AMC's debugging tools together with BSQUARE's CE Xpress Kits and CEValidator to ensure robust Windows CE hardware adaptations. At the application development stage, customers use BSQUARE's CEValidator's Application Test Library to automatically verify the functionality of the application and use AMC's CodeTEST to analyze the application's performance, trace and verify code coverage. The end result is a completely validated hardware and software system brought to market in the shortest possible time. "Many of the engineers who are using our debugging tools to develop CE-based and NT-based products are looking for Looking for In the context of general equities, this describing a buy interest in which a dealer is asked to offer stock, often involving a capital commitment.
