Windows CE is used in tons of systems from ATMs to Point of Sale terminals, and Windows Mobile market share is actually increasing globally, so I'm not sure where you are getting the 'dead' from. I also believe Rudolphe is also referring to Windows Mobile 7 rather than Windows 7.

There is also no word on the UI of Windows Mobile 7 which is, for better or worse, what most people fixate on.
