Service Packs and Fixes

In order to determine all the known issues with .NETCF v1.0 and which Service Pack contained the fix, you would need to look through the fix list for each of the Service Packs in turn. For ease of reference I copied the three fix lists from SP1,2 and 3 and categorised them into the following table. The "o"s indicated in which service pack the issued was resolved. Below it is a table showing which version is preinstalled on the various Windows Mobile devices which have had .NETCF in ROM.
