Casio BE-300 Pocket Manager in their own unique CPC, because it can be almost completely rewritten GUI - graphical user interface (that is what we're seeing on screen machines, then using what we have to BE-300 exchange information ). This opportunity and took advantage of some developers to create their own casings for "Beshka. The result was four separate and completely finished product, between them and divided to vote (and preference) of users. Thus, standard envelope - Top Menu, designed in the style of Windows CE.NET EpodXP, one of the first emerging alternative shells L'agenda SQPL and misunderstood KC Menu. Here is how to allocate votes:

Tell me what you have installed a shell and I'll tell you who you are. If you follow this rule, it turns out that users BE-300 - people are mostly calm, thorough and conservative. They do not yearn for change, alien to them thirst risk (the risk to get more glitches than pleasure). They are satisfied that in the Top Menu can not easily add shortcuts to applications, hosts and the absence of the normal task switcher (can, however, to use separately installed applets). In addition, many users choose Top Menu because of the possibility of Russification (including, and Russification interface).

In second place EpodXP 2.0. I think that those 3.2%, which is now used by older versions of this shell, soon will pass no less "buggy" 2.0, if only among these users BE-300 is no fan of endless open windows when you try to start Internet Explorer. Those who choose EpodXP, sensitively catch the wind of change and extend to the new. In fact, the owners of earlier versions were able to see firsthand how some would look externally Windows CE.NET, when the machines with the OS in nature was not yet. The familiar Start button in the lower left corner of the screen, Taskbar, System Tray, Windows Media Player, desktop with shortcuts to programs and screen Today, as in the machine with the Pocket PC, - that's what gets to those who dare to set EpodXP. True, gets together with some firmware glitches and occasional lockups. In this latest version is still much more reliable than previous ones.

In third place - SQ - the golden mean for calm and practical. This shell - a custom desktop, where you can add labels, not only programs but also frequently used documents, quick menu to display applications, a convenient switch tasks, the ability to "hang" beautiful "wallpaper", an excellent built-in file manager with a function to launch programs.

At the last place was KC Menu - choice of eccentrics. It is difficult to say why this shell is not very popular. Perhaps the reason is that the KC Menu pay ($ 5), although, to be frank, that in Russia very few people stop - there is a warez. Maybe KC Menu gained so few votes because there are no any additional software, as in the installation package, the other shells.There's just a pretty picture on your desktop (you can change) and a folder to store shortcuts.

Well, despite the many cries of rage against the Top Menu in various conferences, programmers (and designers) Casio - ahead. Incidentally, the number of polkonnikov likely to increase when the famous Russian users (but totally unknown to us :-) sites will Top Menu, not working on Windows CE 3.0 (truncated), and the Windows CE.NET (also, however, truncated).
