...when the company rolled out Windows CE, a relative of the company's ubiquitous operating system now found on more than 90% of personal computers. Microsoft then signed up 10 manufacturers, including Hewlett-Packard, Sharp and Philips, to make hand-held computers to its specifications. Following the huge success of the Palm Pilot, the tiny organizer that uses a plastic pen instead of a keyboard, Microsoft enlisted another eight manufacturers to make a competing version of a similar unit.
