It's much cheaper (read: free) to use linux, than using a propriety OS such as microsoft, which would cost a few hundred dollars for MS CE (palmtop version). Then you would have to write some pretty funky drivers, using limited information, to try to get it to work.
The advantage of linux is that it is already being used in embeded computing such as modems, wnd all the information is easy to get. Just compile your own kernel on a CF card and whack it in. Then all you have to do is write some funky drivers, or by the looks of it, they are written for you.
However, this is a very expensive way of going about things, I personally wouldn't want a computer sitting inside something that will be dropped, flipped, drilled, axed and in some events attacked with a flamethrower.
