Despite the fact that it hasn;t said much about its plans for any Vista-based successor to its Windows XP-based embedded operating system, Microsoft currently is functioning on one.Microsoft launched in the course of the first week of June a brand new check develop of its most recent Windows XP-based embedded operating method,Windows 7 Pro Product Key (http://www.key-windows-7.de/), recognized as “Windows Embedded Standard 2009,” the final version of which is slated to ship by the end of 2008.However,Office Standard 2007 (http://www.office2007key.in), Microsoft also is readying the 2010 successor to this product — another Windows Embedded release codenamed “Quebec.” Unlike the 2009 release of Windows Embedded, the Quebec product will make use of a number of features that are part of Windows Vista.Microsoft is on tap to share some information about the Vista-based embedded release at its TechEd Developers Conference this week in Orlando. A initial widescale Community Technology Preview (CTP) test build of Quebec is due out next year.Microsoft;s Windows Embedded family of products, which Microsoft sells to device makers,Windows 7 Pro Key (http://www.key-windows-7.de/), is designed to power thin client terminals, point-of-service terminals, gaming devices, medical-imaging systems, DVRs and industrial-automation systems, among other products. Windows Embedded is not at the core of cell phones or ultra-low-cost PCs (ULPCs), however. Windows Mobile phones at present are built on top of a Windows CE-based core and ULPCs run full-fledged Windows. (Microsoft has OK;d ULPC makers shipping Windows XP on their systems through 2010.)The forthcoming Quebec embedded release will include BitLocker drive encryption, Windows Firewall, Windows Defender,Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007 (http://www.microsoftoffice2007key.net), Address-Space Load Randomization — and on the memory-management front, support for SuperFetch, ReadyBoost and Dynamic Method Address Space. On certain devices, the Quebec release will also provide as optional components Aero user-interface, Windows Media Player 11 and various Internet Explorer 7 features. Unlike Microsoft;s XP-based embedded releases, which are 32-bit only,Office Standard 2007 (http://www.office-2007-key.co.uk), Quebec will support both 32-bit x86 and 64-bit x64 processors.Not surprisingly, support for all these features comes at a cost — size. According to a slide deck available to TechEd attendees, though Windows XP Embedded core;s minimum image size is around 40MB, according to a slide deck to be presented at TechEd on June 6, Quebec;s core is expected be around 300MB — not counting all the optional add-ons like Media Player, IE 7, etc.The other cost is Quebec will require product activation; XP Embedded does not. The Quebec release will require basic retail activation or OEM activation. There will be a default evaluation product key that will allow the Quebec image to run for 30 days without activation.
