According to the
Microsoft Watch story, a
Microsoft presentation at the company's Tech Days '06 conference in Switzerland last month suggests that Photon, which will follow about a year later, will include a new flexible shell, modular containers, and the "Yamazaki" Windows CE kernel.
Additionally,

The Mobile and Embedded Devices division is "moving toward more of an annual refresh schedule for its operating system releases," the
Microsoft Watch story says.
