I’m not sure if this is possible, but I’ll give it a go.
I’m creating a device where I have to add a customized user-interface instead of the normal operating system UI. I’m thinking of installing Windows CE (or .NET MICRO) or Linux, but I’m not sure which OS would let me do this. Also, the software (UI) would load instantly and doesn’t show the OS. I hope I that makes sense.
My question is: is this possible?
Judging the level of customization you require, I would suggest GNU/Linux. I don’t think Windows would allow you to use your own UI instead of its own.
With GNU/Linux, you can choose among several UI providers or make your own. Besides, everything is customizable in GNU/Linux, you can create your own embedded distro with your application’s requirements.
