Microsoft made out there for download on September one a public check build of the embedded edition of its Windows seven platform — known officially as Windows Embedded Standard 2011 and codenamed “Quebec.”(The Community Technology Preview bits of Embedded Standard 2011 are out there on Microsoft;s Connect site.)Windows Embedded Standard is targeted at OEMs and specialized device makers who want to create platforms and applications that use various Windows components. In other words, it is the componentized edition of Windows seven.Its sister product, Windows Embedded Compact, formerly known as Windows CE, is the core Windows-based embedded platform used by makers of smaller devices and phones,Microsoft Office Home And Business 2010 (http://www.office2010key.us/), including Microsoft;s own Windows Mobile and Zune groups. The next slated edition of Windows Embedded Compact is codenamed “Chelan,” and is slated to ship in late 2010. (An interim version with the Embedded Compact platform, codenamed “Cashmere,” may or may not still be around the drawing board.)Windows Embedded Standard 2011,Office 2010 License (http://www.office2010key.us/), when Microsoft first outlined its feature set,Windows 7 Pro (http://www.windows7serialkey.net/), was described as the embedded version with the Vista platform. But more recently, the Softies have said it will be a subset of Windows 7, not Vista. Among the features in this Community Technology Preview build: Support for Active Directory group policies and Microsoft System Center Configuration ManagerIncreasted interoperability with Microsoft Terminal Services and Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)Support for the Windows Aero user interface, Windows Presentation Foundation, Windows Touch, Windows Flip 3D navigation,Office 2010 Pro (http://www.microsoftoffice2010key.net/), Internet Explorer 8, Windows Media Player 12,Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007 (http://www.office2007key.in), Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) seven.0 and Microsoft .Net Framework 3.5Support for 64-bit CPUs and smart power-management APIs for building apps that can improve CPU idle time and reduce power consumption Microsoft didn;t provide a final ship-date target for Windows Embedded Standard 2011, but I;d guess it;s likely to hit sometime next year. is saying to expect Windows Embedded Standard 2011 to ship in the second half of 2010.
