Lab: Using Platform Builder

The purpose of this exercise is to guide you through the high-level steps of creating and configuring a platform, then building an operating system Image. You will be introduced to common tasks that you will use to develop, test, and export your platform and applications. You will run the operating system image on the new hardware Emulator, familiarizing yourself with the steps of downloading an image to the Emulator for Windows CE.
