Improved Handling of Process Limits
Windows Mobile has a hard upper limit of 32 concurrent processes. To avoid process creation failures it also has a mechanism for closing applications when a process threshold is exceeded.
Prior to Windows Mobile 6.5 the threshold was a hard-coded value of 30. As of Windows Mobile 6.5 the threshold default is 28 and the default can be overridden with a registry value.
Prioritizing Time Zones
When releasing devices that use the NITZ implementation to areas outside the United States, you can prioritize the use of time zones for those areas by setting the following registry key:
HKEY_Local_Machine\System\DateTime\NetworkTimePriorities\1.
When set to the index value of a time zone, this time zone takes priority over the default behavior of NITZ. Multiple registry values can be created to prioritize multiple time zones. Set the registry value name, beginning with 1 and proceeding sequentially for as many time zones as you want to prioritize.

InputHistoryFileSize Registry Value
The HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\IME\CompIME registry key has a new value, InputHistoryFileSize, that sets the maximum size of the CompIME input history file.
In addition to predicting words from the lexicon language model, the CompIME also records a user's input history and utilizes the words that a user has typed in the past to improve text prediction. Prediction is based on the Input History record.
