You use an Ethernet or a USB cable to connect a Windows Embedded Compact 7-based device to a Windows-based computer. The date and time on the device are out of sync with the Windows-based computer. You try to use the device to access a server message block (SMB) share folder on the computer. We use Windows CE 4.2, Windows Embedded CE 6.0R3 and Windows Embedded Compact 7 in our devices. The question is related to the support offered by Microsoft for those OS. When I look at the following page, I see that Windows CE 4.2 has support up to June 1st, 2013. What does that mean exactly?

Windows Embedded Compact 7 (formerly known as Windows Embedded CE 7.0) is the seventh major release of Windows Embedded CEoperating system. Windows Embedded Compact 7 is a real-time OS, separate from the Windows NT line, and is designed to target enterprise specific tools such as industrial controllers and consumer electronics devices such as digital cameras, GPS systems and also automotive infotainment systems. Windows Embedded Compact is designed to run on multiple CPU architectures and supports x86, SH (automotive only),[2][3] and ARM. During development, a Microsoft employee working in this division claimed that Microsoft was working hard on this release and that it shares the underlying kernel with Windows Phone.[4] Microsoft officially confirmed this and said that Windows Phone 7 is based on Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R3 with some features borrowed from Windows Embedded Compact 7, thus making it a hybrid solution.[5] Windows Embedded Compact 7 was released on March 1, 2011.[6]
