Dumb Question Time _ Which OS came first?

[+carolnbarney]

I want to ask a, to some folks, dumb question if I may??

 

Which operating system came first and in which order?

 

PPC 2002

PPC 2003

Windows Mobile 5

 

I recently bought a Dell X50V on Ebay. In the description it said it had PPC 2003, but when I got it and looked in it last night, it said it was Windows Mobile 5. I just looked at Dell's site in an effort to find this question out for myself, but my non-tech mind was not able to do so. So I'm "hoping" some person that's a whole lot more tech savvy than I can help me with this.

 

Thanks for your time.......

No such thing as a dumb question:

And by the way, WM 5 is the later edition.

Best about it, it keep installed programs in flash memory.

PPC 2003 and older ones works only in RAM and if the battery gets empty, it's like a reset and all user installed apps needed reinstallation.

 

You got the better value with wm5.

Now if I can only learn to use this thing generally and in particular for caching. My fingers are crossed!!
