Want to try WM5.0 out for your self? I originally posted this on ipaqhq.com but I figured this forum is more of a target for such information ;).
1) Get the emulator from here (http://beta.microsoft.com) (login with your MS passport, then enter MSDEVICE when it asks you for a GuestID)
2) Install the emulator.
3) Delete "C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Device Emulator Preview\PPC_2003_SE\PPC_2003_SE_WWE_ARMv4.bin"
4) Go here (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=83a52af2-f524-4ec5-9155-717cbe5d25ed&displaylang=en) (or here (http://download.microsoft.com/download/d/2/e/d2e43e33-53b0-45b6-ba70-fe6fdc4aa5bb/Windows%20Mobile%205.0%20Pocket%20PC%20SDK.msi) without genuine advantage check) to download the WM5.0 SDK (it's 174MB so be patient!).
5) Go here (http://www.zipzag.com/download/zipzag.exe) to download ZipZag.
6) Install ZipZag.
7) Go here (http://ghisler.fileburst.com/plugins/msi_plugin.zip) to download MSI extension support for ZipZag.
8) Extract the above file to "C:\Program Files\ZipZag"
9) Run ZipZag and open "Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC SDK.msi" in it.
10) Sort the files by Size (largest to top)
11) Extract the biggest file (sdkfiles.cab)
12) Using winrar open this file.
13) Sort the files by size (again, largest to top)
14) Extract "_208PPC_USA_bin" to "C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Device Emulator Preview\PPC_2003_SE\PPC_2003_SE_WWE_ARMv4.bin" (the file you deleted earlier!)
15) Go to "Start -> Programs -> Microsoft Device Emulator Preview -> Emulate Pocket PC-WM 2003 SE(Cold Boot)" - Note that the smartphone and square versions WONT WORK!
16) WAIT (about 30 seconds) for it to boot. When faced with the new welcome screen, click on it then wait another 30 or so seconds.
17) Enjoy your sneak-peek of WM5.0!
Attached is a proof shot of it working which also illustrates the newest feature - persistant storage! Thats the new "Memory" control panel application!
