It should not be hard to do, and the tools are available for free. I could contribute some knowledge and ressources, though not much time. WinCE allows to replace the Windows Shell with something else via a simple registry setting ( targetting e.g. Mobile Phones with WinCE already installed). A lot of commercially evaluation boards provide WinCE board support packages which would allow one to create a new OS-Image with everything but the WinCE kernel stripped out and include inferno emu as "GUI-shell". Porting Plan9 from user space seems somewhat more involved to me (threads and graphics) while an Inferno emu for (Desktop) Windows already exists (and should require little porting effort to WinCE APIs).
