MINI WINDOWS

In several years of trying, Microsoft's efforts to create versions of Windows for devices other than PCs have been huge flops. But the latest attempt, Windows CE for organizer-type handheld devices, could be a hit. One reason this new lightweight Windows, formerly code-named Pegasus, may fly: It's designed from the ground up to communicate painlessly with desktop computers running Windows 95 or NT and can share data with Microsoft Word, Excel, and Schedule+. Windows CE devices, costing around $500, are expected this fall from Casio, Compaq, Hewlett-Packard, and others.
