The main advantage of this operating system is support until 2019. For anyone with legacy pcs (like me) this will work well. I have a dell latitude c600 with 384 megs of ram and a pentium 3 1000mhz. It runs posready 2009 like it ran windows xp sp0 rtm when i first got it and upgraded it to those specs.
It is based on windows xp pro sp3 with a few changes. Most easily noticed is the interface. That is the electric theme. It is mostly based on royale/royale noir despite what microsoft says, office will work on this. I have office 2000 installed on it.
This is mainly good if you have old computers that cant run anything past windows xp or can barely run sp3 as windows xp is in end of life. Quote from Actually, the inability of running Office on POSReady 2009 is a license restriction not a technical one. You might think its a nice idea to tell people about this OS, but the installation media (besides trials) is not available to the public.

If you are not a Windows Embedded Partner, you do not have access to this OS other than using warez which is illegal. EDIT: I realise some people come into possession of a computer from the secondary market that has the OS already installed.
I didnt use warez. The trial cd can be used as a full version if you get a key. Keys arent hard to find. Quote from With how small it is I can only assume it will not work for the majority of people who would even want to use it. Upgrade your computer if it is really too much for you grab a light weight Linux distro Xubuntu or Lubuntu should do just fine if you really want to keep using an outdated computer.
That or just run WinXP I doubt most of you are doing anything on your computers that would be a big deal if lost due to malware. It is pretty small but you can choose what you want to use.
It can come with everything a regular user will need. When i put it on my latitude c600 drivers worked out of the box.
Quote from The main advantage of this operating system is support until 2019. Yes, the system will be supported until 2019. However, It does not receive security updates on the same level as XP did. It receives security updates evaluated based on the use-case that POSReady is designed for, which typically involves a Local only connection, with Updates being served from a configured update server. (Allowing all POS terminals to be updated by changing the software available on said server, rather than having all those terminals using a WAN connection to download from Microsoft). As a result it doesn't get Security patches as frequently (In fact, the only security updates it received were from XP's updates, and those have stopped).
So the feasibility of using the system as a replacement is dubious at best. That isn't even to consider the fact that running it on a desktop system is a complete violation of the license.

Most easily noticed is the interface. The default interface as I recall is the classic theme, and I don't think it even includes the Luna theme engine. The themes you show are probably added by whatever scener created the torrent you downloaded from. For comparison, I'm downloading the actual POSReady 2009 from MSDN; it is 3395 MB, and fills a DVD.
(I actually wasn't expecting it to be on MSDN). I think the topic of POSReady 2009 being used in lieu of Windows XP now that XP is end of Life'd may be worthy of covering in more detail. I've seen it brought up a lot.
This is mainly good if you have old computers that cant run anything past windows xp or can barely run sp3 as windows xp is in end of life. This ignores the critical fact that since you'll be pirating you won't be eligible for any sort of support anyways, and it receives few, if any, security updates since it's designed for use on LAN networks with no internet exposure. I'll be installing POS Ready 2009 in a Virtual Machine and evaluating some of the claims I've seen regarding it's usage to replace XP.

I didnt use a torrent, i used the evaluation cd straight from M$. I read that if you put a key like the one i put on you will have the full version and it seems to be that way on the other things, i got windows update working anyway even though its technically pirated.
OK download finished. First thing I notice: It's not based on XP, it's based on Server 2003 Standard Edition. This makes sense. I base this on the fact that VMWare detects it as such. Further notes during Install: -'Typical' Install lists as consuming 1510MB. Minimum is listed as 510.Admin password has stricter requirements. I think this is in Server 2003 as well.

These appear to coincide with the steps of the XP install (Installing components, detecting Devices, etc). Also, according to the EULA, the software, even with a valid key, will only function for a year. After a year that key will no longer work for activation and you will need another key. I was incorrect on the default theme, it would appear. Default theme is 'POSReady' It doesn't have the standard XP themes.
Only Luna themes are three POSReady themes, which all look the same and just change the background logo. Installing the Virtual Machine drivers- POSReady doesn't appear to have found the Network driver. Restarting, if it has no network I guess I won't be able to check the update list. No network ability still.

I'll try that again, using the POSReady disc in the virtualized drive and running the driver install from a local folder. It prompted for i8042prt but I was able to find it manually on the Disc. Now for reboot number 5 to see if network is working.
Aaaaand I cannot login because now the keyboard doesn't work. So what do we have so far? Well, arguably, this is in a virtual Machine- however, considering Windows NT 3.51 through Windows 8.1 had no problem with the virtualized hardware out of the box.

Yes all glory be to the OS that manages to not work.
You could almost blame the use of virtualized hardware devices if NT 3.51, 4, 2000, XP, Vista, 7, and 8 all had no problems. Conclusion: POSReady is simply not usable on desktop systems.

Link to eula? I think you are thinking of the evaluation cd, mine doesnt show that its evaluation even if this is true then why cant i just find another key? Edit:nvm what you describe is just for msdn subscribers. POSReady 2009 is not licensed to run in a VM, although you are allowed to use it in a VHD boot scenario. There is no 1 year activation limit if you are using a runtime license, which requires your company to have a valid Embbeded License Agreement.
These are not available to individuals. Licensing restricts installation of this OS to an Embedded Partner. If you have not purchased a computer that had an Embedded OS pre-installed on it from the manufacturer, you are using it illegally.
This includes using a leaked product key in order to bypass the activation time-bomb on the trial version. Quote from POSReady 2009 is not licensed to run in a VM, although you are allowed to use it in a VHD boot scenario. It would appear- if some of this post is directed at me, you may be under the impression that I torrented POSReady.
I didn't download the Microsoft Evaluation, either. There is the POSReady Evaluation on the Microsoft Download Center, of course. I used the 'Windows Embedded POSReady 2009 (x86) - DVD (English)' via my MSDN subscription, including the capability to generate a 'Static Activation Key'. All components I can download via MSDN are licensed for my use in any evaluation or even development scenario; I cannot deploy it for anything other than demonstration purposes, however. I can't install it on customer systems except to demonstrate our software temporarily). I'm actually now a bit tempted to try out the Actual Evaluation to see what is different. Both in terms of it's install as well as the EULAs.
An MSDN Subscription builds on traditional MSDN benefits by providing developers of embedded devices with a single subscription for access to the Visual Studio suite of software development tools and the following Windows Embedded platforms and technologies; Windows Embedded CE, Windows Embedded Standard-, Windows Embedded NavReady 2009 and a 12 month trial version of Windows Embedded POSReady 2009. Looks like MSDN provides a 12 month trial rather than the 120 Day evaluation.
Not sure why the DVD is so much larger than the Evaluation disc, though. I found this Runtime license information on the.
Once you complete development and testing and are ready to bring your embedded system to market, it’s time to acquire runtime licenses and certificates of authenticity from your Microsoft Authorized Windows Embedded Distributor. A runtime operating system license is required to sell devices containing the customized Windows Embedded POSReady image and must be purchased and affixed to each unit that you ship. It looks like the copy available on MSDN is from the 'acquire POSReady' step; whereas the evaluation version is, not surprisingly, the evaluation step. Evaluate-Develop-Deploy, First step is free, second step requires purchase or a subscription, and third step requires the run-time license. However Deployment is for applying to other people's machines, so not sure if that would be strictly necessary for personal use. For my copy, I am perfectly in the clear to use my MSDN-acquired copy of POSReady 2009 in a Virtual Machine. As per the EULA the only restriction appears to be that I cannot use it in a 'live operating environment' which I assume means a deployed system, which is consistent with the acquisition information.
If you have not purchased a computer that had an Embedded OS pre-installed on it from the manufacturer, you are using it illegally. This includes using a leaked product key in order to bypass the activation time-bomb on the trial version. I think you might be mostly referring to the other guy, but I'll repeat my particular scenario. I downloaded the ISO of POSReady 2009 from MSDN, who's particular license coverage for available products includes pretty much any evaluation purpose or usage for development or evaluation. I of course did not use a 'leaked' product key; I used MSDN itself to generate one (it lists it as a 'Static activation Key' and I can generate up to three).

If you're concerned about Microsoft's end of support for Windows XP, you may wish to check out this unappreciated gem - 'POSReady 2009'. It's XP, but with an improved installer, better customization, a fresh new theme, and most notably, Microsoft's blessing through 2019. In this video, I cover installation, activation, and other general information on the operating system.

The ability to switch hard disk storage type from Basic to Dynamic and vice versa. Edition N In March 2004, the fined Microsoft 497 million (395 million or 784 million) and ordered the company to provide a version of Windows without. The Commission concluded that Microsoft 'broke competition law by leveraging its near in the market for PC operating systems onto the markets for work group operating systems and for media players'.
After unsuccessful appeals in 2004 and 2005, Microsoft reached an agreement with the Commission where it would release a court-compliant version, Windows XP Edition N. This version does not include the company's Windows Media Player but instead encourages users to pick and download their own media player. Microsoft wanted to call this version Reduced Media Edition, but EU regulators objected and suggested the Edition N name, with the N signifying 'not with Media Player' for both Home and Professional editions of Windows XP.
Because it is sold at the same price as the version with Windows Media Player included, and have chosen not to stock the product. However, Dell did offer the operating system for a short time.

Consumer interest has been low, with roughly 1,500 units shipped to, and no reported sales to consumers. The N editions of Windows XP also do not include, but Microsoft has made this available as a separate download.
K & KN In December 2005, the ordered Microsoft to make available editions of Windows XP and that do not contain. Like the European Commission decision, this decision was based on the grounds that Microsoft had abused its dominant position in the market to push other products onto consumers. Unlike that decision, however, Microsoft was also forced to withdraw the non-compliant versions of Windows from the South Korean market. The K and KN editions of Windows XP Home Edition and Professional Edition were released in August 2006, and are only available in English and Korean.
Both editions contain links to third-party and software. Home Edition ULCPC This edition of Windows XP Home is intended for sale with certain 'low-cost' netbooks and will appear labeled as 'Windows XP Home Edition ULCPC' (with 'ULCPC' standing for '). Professional Blade PC Edition This version comes preinstalled on OEM solutions providing desktops on hardware. In addition to a copy of Windows XP Professional, it includes a Remote Desktop License.
Starter Edition Windows XP Starter Edition is a lower-cost version of Windows XP available in Thailand, Vietnam, Turkey, Indonesia, India, Philippines, Colombia, Brazil, Argentina, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Mexico, Ecuador, Uruguay, Malaysia, and Venezuela. It is similar to Windows XP Home, but is limited to low-end hardware, can only run 3 programs at a time, and has some other features either removed or disabled by default.
According to a Microsoft press release, Windows XP Starter Edition is 'a low-cost introduction to the Microsoft Windows XP operating system designed for first-time desktop PC users in.' Specialization The Starter Edition includes some special features for certain markets where consumers may not be. Not found in the Home Edition, these include help features for those who may not speak English, a country-specific computer wallpaper and, and other default settings designed for easier use than typical Windows XP installations. The Malaysian version, for example, contains a desktop background of the skyline. In addition, the Starter Edition also has some unique limitations to prevent it from displacing more expensive versions of Windows XP. Only three applications can be run at once on the Starter Edition, and each application may open a maximum of three windows.
The maximum screen resolution is 1024×768, and there is no support for workgroup networking or domains. In addition, the Starter Edition is licensed only for low-end processors like Intel's or AMD's and. There is also a 512 MB limit on main memory and a 120 GB disk size limit. Microsoft has not made it clear, however, if this is for total disk space, per partition, or per disk. There are also fewer options for customizing the themes, desktop, and taskbar. Market adoption On October 9, 2006, Microsoft announced that they reached a milestone of 1 million units of Windows XP Starter Edition sold. In the mass market, however, the Starter Edition has not had much success.
In many markets where it is available, of higher end versions of Windows are more popular than their legal counterparts. In these markets, non-genuine copies of XP Professional can be obtained at a mall. These stores typically charge only for the amount of the CDs/DVDs taken up by the files, not the original retail value. Unlicensed copies of Windows XP Professional typically cost $0.70, since it only uses 1 CD, compared to around $30 for a properly licensed copy of XP Starter.
Media Center Edition. Windows XP MCE 2005 Menu This edition, which was code-named 'Freestyle' during its development, was first released in September 2002. The initial release was available solely in conjunction with computers that included media center capabilities, and could not be purchased separately. The first major update was released in 2004 and distributed by Tier 1 OEMs who had previously sold Windows XP Media Center Edition PC, and then updated again in 2005, which was the first edition available for.
Many of the features of Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 (including screen dancers, auto playlist DJ, and high end visual screen savers) were taken from the Windows XP Plus! These were originally shipped as add-ons to Windows XP to enhance the users experience of their Windows XP machine. Releases A preview version of Windows XP Media Center Edition from Microsoft's eHome division, was shown as CES 2002, with the final version released in July 2002. Windows XP Media Center Edition ('Freestyle', July 2002) This was the original release. Updates to this release added features such as FM radio tuning.
This release combined with updates is sometimes referred to as Windows XP Media Center Edition 2003. Windows XP Media Center Edition 2004 ('Harmony', September 2003) Windows XP Service Pack 2 upgrades earlier versions of MCE to this one. Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 ('Symphony', October 2004) is the first edition of MCE available to non-Tier 1 system builders.
Among other things it includes support for Media Center Extenders, and CD/DVD-Video burning support. Update Rollup 2 for Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 ('Emerald', October 2005) is a major update to MCE 2005 (Symphony) and was a recommended download. It adds support for the as a media center extender, broadcasts, and support for two cards. After the 2005 release, Microsoft focused their efforts on building new media center features into 'Home Premium' and 'Ultimate' editions of and, which have Windows Media Center built-in and, unlike the releases of Windows XP Media Center Edition, were available for retail purchase without the necessary hardware. Features The most notable feature unique to this edition is the Windows Media Center, which provides a large-font, remotely accessible interface (') for viewing on the computer as well as recording and playback, a TV guide, playback, video playback, photo viewing, and music playback. Unlike competing commercial products, Microsoft does not charge a monthly subscription fee for its Media Center TV guide service.
Due to strict hardware requirements, Microsoft did not sell Media Center Edition in retail markets alongside the Home and Professional editions. Microsoft only distributes it to subscribers and in certain countries. Consumers generally purchase Media Center pre-installed on a new computer, or from a reseller that sells OEM versions of Microsoft software.
Media Center Edition was the only consumer-oriented edition of Windows XP that was updated with new features on an annual basis during the five-year. The MCE 2005 release, for example, includes an update to that supports burning DVDs, a new visual style called ', support for, and 's G-Force sound visualizations. Microsoft also released its own, receiver and blaster with MCE 2005. A new specially designed wireless for MCE 2005 was released September 2005. Using or the, Media Center Edition is also able to connect and stream recorded TV, music and pictures, over a network connection.
Media Center Edition retains most of the features included in Windows XP Professional as it is simply an add-on to Professional, installed when provided with a valid MCE product key during setup. All Professional features have been left in, including and the, however the ability to join an domain has been removed as it is marketed as a home product with no need for domain support. One value in the registry is all that is needed to circumvent this restriction; if the installation of MCE 2005 is an in-place upgrade from a previous version already joined to a domain, this ability is retained, unless a user uses a Windows Media Center Extender: in this case, such ability is lost and cannot be restored. Presumably, Microsoft introduced this limit because Media Center Extender devices, introduced in this version, rely on the Fast User Switching component, but this component must be disabled in order to join a domain. Hardware requirements Media Center has higher hardware requirements than other editions of Windows XP. MCE 2005 requires at least a 1.6 GHz processor, 9.0 hardware-accelerated (ATI 9 series or nVidia or higher), and 256 MB of system. Some functionality, such as Media Center Extender support, use of multiple tuners, or playback/recording carries higher system requirements.
Media Center is much more restricted in the range of hardware that it supports than most other software solutions. Media Center tuners must have a standardized driver interface, and they (originally) required a hardware encoder, support, and a number of other features. Media Center remote controls are standardized in terms of button labels and functionality, and, to a degree, general layout. Tablet PC Edition. Tablet PC logo This edition is intended for specially designed notebook/laptop computers called. Windows XP Tablet PC Edition is compatible with a pen-sensitive screen, supporting handwritten notes and portrait-oriented screens. Except for and Volume License subscribers, Windows XP Tablet Edition could not be purchased separately.
Tablet PC Edition is a superset of Windows XP Professional, the difference being tablet functionality, including alternate text input (Tablet PC Input Panel) and basic drivers for support of tablet PC specific hardware. Requirements to install Tablet PC Edition include a tablet digitizer or touchscreen device, and hardware control buttons including a shortcut button, scrolling buttons, and at least one user-configurable application button. There have been two releases:. Windows XP Tablet PC Edition – The original version released in November 2002. Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005 – The Tablet PC version released in August 2004 (codenamed Lonestar) as part of Windows XP Service Pack 2. The 2005 edition is available as a service pack upgrade, or as a new version.
Service Pack 2 for Windows XP includes Tablet PC Edition 2005 and is a free upgrade. This version brought improved handwriting recognition and improved the Input Panel, allowing it to be used in almost every application.
The Input Panel was also revised to extend speech recognition services (input and correction) to other applications. Included software. Tablet PC running Windows XP Tablet PC Edition and Energy Blue Theme Windows XP Tablet PC Edition is based on Windows XP Professional and includes all the software features provided in it. In addition, it includes some of the following components:. Tablet PC Input Panel. Sticky Notes. theme The following downloadable packs released by Microsoft add more functionality:.

Windows XP Tablet PC Screenshot, showing a docked TIP from Tablet PC Edition 2005 and Windows XP Tablet PC Edition utilizes the Ink object as a means of data input and storage. This is a data type created as part of the Windows XP Tablet PC Edition API that allows users to manipulate and process handwritten data, including recognition results and, in some cases, the pressure information for each part of the stroke. Properties of Ink can be changed in much the same way as properties of other objects, and the data can be saved to allow future reference. Many applications referencing the Ink object also allow handwritten notes to be filtered and searched through, based on the recognition results stored when Ink is saved.
Integrated with the operating system is a (TIP) which allows handwriting to be converted into text for use in most non-full-screen applications. The integrated handwriting recognition in Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005 can recognize print, cursive, or mixed writing. Accuracy can be increased by configuring the recognizer to expect left-handed writing or right-handed writing. Recognition in a variety of languages is available with the install of a. The handwriting engine cannot be trained to recognize a particular handwriting style, so the user must modify their handwriting to be better recognized by the system in order to use this feature effectively. Speech recognition functionality is also incorporated into the Tablet Input Panel.
Compared to previous versions, a substantially improved speech recognition engine version 6 (which also ships with Office 2003) and a tutorial, microphone wizard and training modules are included. It is possible to dictate text using speech in certain supported applications and control the Windows GUI and applications using speech, although the accuracy improvements further made in Windows Vista surpass these features. An update for Windows XP Tablet PC Edition containing Ink Analysis and StylusInput API support introduced in Windows Vista is also available. Subscription and pre-paid editions In 2006, Microsoft made available two additional editions of Windows XP Home Edition for hardware manufacturers that wanted to provide subscription-based or pay as you go-based Link to correct article models for selling computers. These editions, named Windows XP Home Edition for Subscription Computers, and Windows XP Home Edition for Prepaid Computers respectively, are part of the ' initiative, described in a company-issued press release as, 'making PCs more accessible by dramatically reducing the entry cost and enabling customers to pay for their computer as they use it, through the purchase of prepaid cards.
Market trials are starting first in emerging markets where inadequate access to consumer credit, unpredictable income and high entry costs prevent many consumers from purchasing a computer.' These editions were targeted towards emerging markets such as India, Brazil, Hungary and Vietnam. Both editions contain additional components that enforce the subscription models via metering. The metering is typically enforced with a hardware component to prevent tampering. The installation of Windows operates in 'normal mode', 'Limited Access Mode', or 'Hardware Locked Mode' depending on the state of the subscription. When a computer has a positive time balance, it operates in 'normal mode' and functions as a regular Windows XP Home Edition machine.
When the time balance expires, the machine will then operate in 'Limited Access Mode' for an amount of time set by the hardware manufacturer (five hours by default) before entering 'Hardware Locked Mode'. In Limited Access Mode, the screen uses high-contrast and low-resolution display settings, and in Hardware Locked Mode, the operating system is disabled entirely, and a message is displayed on boot-up with instructions on how to re-enable the machine. 64-bit editions Two distinct editions of Windows XP were released to support 64-bit hardware. Windows XP 64-Bit Edition. 'Windows XP 64-Bit Edition' redirects here. It is not to be confused with. Windows XP 64-Bit Edition was designed to run on family of in their native mode.
Two versions of Windows XP 64-Bit Edition were released:. Windows XP 64-Bit Edition for Itanium systems, Version 2002 – Based on Windows XP, was released simultaneously alongside the 32-Bit version of Windows XP on October 25, 2001. Windows XP 64-Bit Edition, Version 2003 – Based on codebase (which added support for the processor), was released on March 28, 2003. This edition was discontinued in January 2005, after, the last distributor of Itanium-based workstations, stopped selling Itanium systems marketed as 'workstations'. As of July 2005, Windows XP 64-Bit Edition is no longer supported, and no further security updates were made available.
Windows XP 64-Bit Edition was not marketed as the Itanium version of Microsoft's other Windows XP editions, but, instead, as a separate edition made solely for the Itanium processor and its 64-bit instructions. It is mostly analogous to Windows XP Professional, but numerous older technologies, such as DAO, and, are no longer present, so support for and applications is absent. The original version also lacks most media applications, such as, and integrated CD burning, although WMP and NetMeeting were added in the 2003 version. Similar to the ability of previous alternate architecture ports of Windows ( for, R4x00, and ) to run 16-bit x86 code via, Windows XP 64-Bit Edition can run standard x86 applications through its (Windows-on-Windows 64-bit) layer. While the original Itanium processor contains an on-chip decoder, it was deemed far too slow for serious use (running at about 400 MHz), so Microsoft and Intel wrote a software 32 to 64-bit translator dubbed the. It allows real time translation of x86 32-bit instructions into instructions, allowing 32-bit applications to run (albeit significantly more slowly than native code).
Windows XP Professional x64 Edition. Main article: This edition supports the extension of the Intel IA-32 architecture. X86-64 is implemented by AMD as 'AMD64', found in AMD's, chips (and in selected processors), and implemented by Intel as 'Intel 64' (formerly known as IA-32e and EM64T), found in some of Intel's and most of Intel's later chips. It was released on April 25, 2005. Windows XP Professional x64 Edition uses version 5.2.3790.1830 of core operating system binaries, the same version used by SP1 as they were the latest versions during the operating system's development. Even service packs and updates for Windows XP x64 and Windows Server 2003 x64 are distributed in unified packages, much in the manner as Windows 2000 Professional and Server editions for x86.

During the initial development phases (2003–2004), Windows XP Professional x64 Edition was named Windows XP 64-Bit Edition for x86 Extended Systems and later, Windows XP 64-Bit Edition for Extended Systems, as opposed to 64-Bit Edition for Itanium Systems. Service packs The RTM version of Windows XP Professional x64 Edition is based on Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 codebase. For the same reason, Service Pack 2 for Windows XP x64 Edition, released on the March 13, 2007, is not the same as Service Pack 2 for 32-bit versions of Windows XP. In fact, due to the earlier release date of the 32-bit version, many of the key features introduced by Service Pack 2 for 32-bit (x86) editions of Windows XP were already present in the RTM version of its 64-bit (x86-64) counterpart.
Service Pack 2 is the first and last released service pack for Windows XP Professional x64 Edition. Software compatibility Windows XP Professional x64 Edition uses a technology named (WOW64), which permits the execution of 32-bit applications. It was first employed in (for the ), but then reused for the 'x64 Editions' of Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. Since the architecture includes hardware-level support for 32-bit instructions, WOW64 switches the processor between 32- and 64-bit modes. According to Microsoft, 32-bit software running under WOW64 has a similar performance when executing under 32-bit Windows, but with fewer threads possible and other overheads. All 32-bit processes are shown with.32 in the task manager, while 64-bit processes have no extra text present.
Although 32-bit applications can be run transparently, the mixing of the two types of code within the same process is not allowed. A 64-bit application cannot link against a 32-bit and, similarly, a 32-bit application cannot link against a 64-bit library. This may lead to the need for library developers to provide both 32- and 64-bit binary versions of their libraries. Windows XP x64 Edition includes both 32- and 64-bit versions of, in order to allow for the possibility that some third-party browser plugins or controls may not yet be available in 64-bit versions. Older 32-bit drivers and services are not supported by 64-bit Windows, but video and audio such as or (which are 32-bit ), are supported as long as the media player that uses them is 32-bit as well. 64-bit Windows does not include or, so there is no native support for the execution of or Windows applications, such as those written for.
Advantages The primary benefit of moving to 64-bit is the increase in the maximum allocatable. A single standard process on a 32-bit Windows operating system is limited to a total of 2,093,056 (2 GB minus one 4 KB page), while large address aware 32-bit processes can allocate up to 4 GB. Windows XP x64 can support much more memory; although the theoretical memory limit a 64-bit computer can address is about 16, Windows XP x64 is limited to 128 GB of physical memory and 8 of per process while the practical limit is usually the size of the pagefile. Windows XP Professional x64 Edition and Windows XP 64-bit Edition Version 2003 are the only releases of Windows XP to include 6.0, which matches the version shipped with; other versions of XP include 5.1.
64-bit versions of Windows XP are also immune to certain types of viruses and that target 32-bit systems, since most system files are 64-bit. The extra registers of the x86-64 architecture can result in performance improvements in certain kinds of applications, but more often than not, will result in a slight decrease in performance when compared to the same application implemented in 32 bit x86 code running on Windows XP 32 bit editions. Editions for embedded systems.
See also: Microsoft has released a number of editions of Windows XP that are targeted towards developers of embedded devices, for use in specific consumer electronics, kiosks/, medical devices, arcade video games, point-of-sale terminals, and Voice over Internet Protocol components. These editions all belong to Windows Embedded subfamilies.
Windows XP for Embedded Systems Windows XP for Embedded Systems is binary identical to Windows XP Professional, but is licensed only for embedded devices. Windows XP Embedded. Screenshot of Windows XP Embedded Evaluation running several Windows components.
Windows XP Embedded, commonly abbreviated 'XPe', is a componentized version of the Professional edition of Windows XP. An is free to choose only the components needed thereby reducing operating system footprint and also reducing attack area as compared with XP Professional. Unlike, Microsoft's operating system for portable devices and consumer electronics, XP Embedded provides the full, and support for the full range of applications and device drivers written for Microsoft Windows. The system requirements state that XPe can run on devices with at least 32 MB, 32 MB RAM and a P-200. XPe was released on November 28, 2001. As of October 2008, the newest release is Windows XP Embedded Service Pack 3. The devices targeted for XPe have included, (NAS), navigation devices, railroad locomotives, etc.
Custom versions of the OS can be deployed onto anything but a full-fledged PC; even though XPe supports the same hardware that XP Professional supports ( architecture), licensing restrictions prevent it from being deployed on to standard PCs. However, Microsoft has made some exceptions to this rule, allowing XPe alongside a standard OEM install of Windows. Some Dell notebooks contain an embedded XP installation as part of the 2.0 feature, and they were also found on some Acer ones as well as the Samsung Q1. Succeeded XPe in 2H 2008. Windows Embedded Standard 2009 is derived from Windows XP Embedded since Microsoft at the time of its development did not have a componentized version of Windows Vista. Windows Embedded Standard 2009 includes, and support for being managed by and. Has succeeded Windows Embedded Standard 2009 in April 2010 and is a componentized version of Windows 7.
Features. A Internet payphone loading Embedded. Write filters XPe includes components known as write filters, which can be used to filter out disk writes. The volumes can be marked as read-only using these filters and all writes to it can be redirected. Applications in user mode are unaware of this write filtering. XPe ships with two write filters:. (EWF): Protects a system at volume level.
It redirects all disk writes to a protected drive, to RAM or a separate disk. EWF is extremely useful when used in thin clients that have flash memory as their primary boot source. File Based Write Filter (FBWF): Allows the configuration of individual files as read/write on a protected volume USB boot XPe adds a USB boot option to Windows. An XPe embedded device can be configured to boot from a USB drive.
CD boot An XPe device can be configured to boot from a. This allows the device to boot without the requirement of having a physical as well as provides a 'fresh boot' every time the image is booted (a property inherited by the fact that the operating system is being booted from read-only media). One drawback to this technology is updating or servicing the image requires the complete process of setting up the runtime image to be completed once again from start to end. Network boot An XPe device can be configured to boot from a properly configured network.
Synonymous to CD boot, network boot removes the requirement of having the physical hard drive as well as providing the 'fresh boot' behavior. One bonus to Network Boot though is the ability to service the already setup image. Once the image is updated the image is simply posted to the and once clients are rebooted they will receive the updated image. Windows Embedded for Point of Service.
Main article: Windows Embedded for Point of Service ( WEPOS) is a specialization of Windows XP Embedded. It was released on May 25, 2005, and focuses on the device market, such as fuel pumps, stations, automated teller machines and cash registers. It is not available for purchase directly from Microsoft, but is instead licensed to original equipment manufacturers. Windows Embedded POSReady 2009 succeeded WEPOS in January 2009. Windows Embedded POSReady 2009 is derived from WEPOS since Microsoft at the time of its development did not have a componentized version of Windows Vista.
Windows Embedded POSReady 7 has succeeded Windows Embedded POSReady 2009 in July 2011 and is based on Windows 7 SP1. Windows Fundamentals for Legacy PCs. Main article: In July 2006, Microsoft introduced a 'thin-client' variant of Windows XP Embedded called Windows Fundamentals for Legacy PCs, which targets older machines (as early as the original Pentium). It is only available to customers.
It is intended for those who would like to upgrade to Windows XP to take advantage of its security and management capabilities, but cannot afford to purchase new hardware. Has succeeded Windows Fundamentals for Legacy PCs in June 2011 and is based on Windows Embedded Standard 7 SP1. References. Retrieved 2008-04-09. June 7, 2005.

Windows Embedded products What is Windows Embedded? Windows Embedded is a series of customizable operating systems for special equipment.
Its mission is to expand Windows and cloud computing to the world of special equipment. Windows Embedded can help equipment manufacturers to shorten time to market, and at the same time help customers to increase efficiency and customer satisfaction. Windows Embedded is applied extensively in tens of thousands of devices in the smart device domain, such as in thin clients, POS terminals, ATMs, kiosks, digital signage, on-board and navigation devices, and industrial, security and medical equipment, and in key industries such as finance, service, retail, industrial automation, medicine, and transportation. Windows Embedded helps build cost-effective and tailor-made solutions according to each customer's specific requirements.
Why should I choose Windows Embedded? The Windows Embedded product line offers the time-to-market advantage and provides top-notch technologies, tools, and resources that can integrate and speed up the development of next generation devices. It is all under your control. You can easily build the device you need in the way you want, in addition to enjoying the following benefits:. Lower development cost. Runtime licensing.
Common source code. Intellectual property protectionn.
Commitment and support for Windows Embedded platform from Microsoft; up to 10-15 years of availability. A more complete Eco-system that effectively shortens time to market What is the product availability like? When is the end of distribution? Operating System Licensing What licensing mode should a company use to acquire the full version of any operating system when purchasing new specialized devices /machines/equipment? Microsoft's full operating systems for specialized devices are only available through the Embedded channel. Volume Licensing Agreement (Open, Open Value, Select, Enterprise Agreement, etc.) is only available for OS upgrade licensing and not available for full OS licensing. Microsoft's Volume Licensing Agreement provides upgradable operating system versions for procurement.
Do I still have to purchase additional OEM/Embedded edition software for new specialized devices /machines/equipment? The Volume Licensing Agreement is only available for enterprise customers for OS upgrade, whereby the OEM distributing the specialized device/machine/equipment to the enterprise customer must preinstall the full Embedded OS prior to delivery. It is only then that the enterprise customer may use the upgradable version provided by Volume Licensing.
The upgradable version provided by the Volume Licensing is prohibited from being installed on any 'naked PC.' (Naked PC: specialized device/machine/equipment that hasn't been installed with any operating system.) Does OEM/Embedded software provide the right of multi-language compatibility? For example, can I purchase the Chinese version of OEM/Embedded software and install it as an English version? OEM software does not provide any right of multi-language compatibility, that is, you cannot buy the Chinese version of OEM software and install it as an English version or any other language version. In addition, if a computer that was bought abroad is installed with an English or Japanese version OS, it cannot be freely converted to a Chinese version (except for the Ultimate version).
However, Windows Embedded provides multi-language compatibility depending on product type and SKU, such as:. WES7P and Windows Embedded 8 product family are compatible with multiple languages. POSReady 7 allows you to choose up to 5 languages from a list of 36 languages.
Is it possible to purchase a new version of OEM/Embedded software but specifically install older versions if a company has new and old specialized devices/machines/equipment at the same time? Windows Embedded provides customers with migration rights so that the specialized devices/machines/equipment within an organization can share the same software environment for easier management. OEM may distribute Migration Systems to End User with an Image that includes the Prior Software on a temporary basis, and then upgrade those Embedded Systems with an Image containing the Final Software during the migration period. Note the migration period ends 12 months following the delivery of the Migration Systems. Is it possible to install application software which performs desktop functions, in a Windows Embedded operating system?
'Desktop Functions' means consumer or business tasks or processes performed by a computer or computing device. This includes word processing, spreadsheets, database, scheduling, and personal finance. Desktop Functions may include features and functions derived from the MS Binaries or the Company Binaries.
If the Embedded System performs Desktop Functions, the Company shall design the Embedded System to ensure that the Desktop Functions meet the following requirements:. Desktop Functions must be an integral part of the Embedded Application;. Desktop Functions must only be accessed through, and used in support of the Embedded Application;.
Desktop Functions operate only when used with the Embedded Application. In addition, an Embedded System must not be marketed or useable as a general-purpose personal computing device (such as a personal computer) or a multi-function server, or a commercially viable substitute for one of these systems. Is it possible to transfer the OEM/Embedded software from the original machine to another computer/machine/equipment when replacing old specialized devices/machines/equipment? The OEM/Embedded software 'matches the machine to its corresponding rights.' It means that the license is always bound with the original computer/machine/equipment. If the original specialized device/machine/equipment is being replaced, the license of the matched OEM/Embedded software will be terminated and cannot be transferred to another specialized device/machine/equipment. Does the license for Windows products become invalid once the extended support expires?
Windows license remains valid even if the extended support expires. OEM will need to have a valid CLA to continue licensing and distributing our Embedded OS Products. Server Licensing Is a license required for the Windows Server on a virtual PC? Even if a virtual PC is used, customers still have to obtain a license for the Windows Server on each virtual machine. The licensing option is described in the previous question. Standard edition: Only two free Windows Server virtual machines can be run on the virtual PC when assigning the end-user license to the physical machine running the virtual PC. Enterprise edition: Four free Windows Server virtual machines can be run on a virtual PC.
What is a 'Client Access License' (CAL)? 'Client Access License' (CAL) is the license that grants customers the right to use hardware devices (e.g. Computer, PDA, or cell phone) to legitimately connect to the server host for access. In simple terms, if a customer only obtains the legitimate license of server software, but doesn't purchase a 'Client Access License' (CAL), their specialized devices/machines/equipment or employees won't be able to connect to a server for access. What is the difference between a Windows Server 2012 R2 license and a Client Access License (CAL)? Why do I need to obtain both?.
Windows Server 2012 R2 license Allows installation and use of the built-in server roles and functions of Windows Server 2012 R2. Client Access License (CAL) Users or devices need to obtain a Windows CAL license in order to access Windows Server 2012 R2. If only the Windows Server 2012 R2 license is purchased, the client will not be able to access data legitimately.
This is why you need to purchase both licenses. The servers in our organization have been upgraded to a newer version. Does CAL also have to be upgraded? The version of CAL has to be the same as or higher than that of the server. Older CAL may not be used with newer server software versions. Certificate of Authenticity (COA) What is a Certificate of Authenticity (COA)?
Certificate of Authenticity (COA) is a label that helps to identify genuine Microsoft software. When you purchase Microsoft's Windows Embedded Runtime License, a 'COA' label specified by Microsoft for identification of genuine products will be provided. The 'COA' label contains a product serial number and has anti-piracy features. OEM customers should purchase the Runtime License for Windows Embedded OS prior to product delivery and affix the 'COA' label permanently on an accessible location on the specialized device/machine/equipment. The equipment with the 'COA' label indicates that it has installed the genuine Windows Embedded OS. Each piece of the Embedded equipment has its corresponding 'COA' label for authentication.
Why should I purchase the specialized devices/machine/equipment with the Certificate of Authenticity (COA) label? The specialized devices/machine/equipment with the Certificate of Authenticity (COA) label indicates that the Embedded operating system is installed with legitimately licensed software.
