| Windows Embedded Standard is the next generation of Windows XP Embedded. Windows Embedded Standard delivers the power, familiarity, and reliability of the Windows operating system in componentized form, helping device makers to easily create smart connected devices requiring rich applications, services, and end-user experiences. Standard features technologies that easily connect with many common industry standards plus several Microsoft desktop and server technologies leading to lower costs in application development, operating system deployment, servicing, and maintenance.
With Windows Embedded Standard, developers get access to a mature technology portfolio of embedded specific tools that work in the familiar developer environment of Visual Studio allowing them to rapidly configure, build, and deploy devices that are more secure, reliable, and manageable. Support for all the PC architecture processor families; compatibility with thousands of certified, production-quality, off-the-shelf applications, drivers, and services; and a global ecosystem of Windows Embedded Standard experts help ensure that device makers have flexibility and access to the skills to develop the next generation of smart connected devices with confidence. |
| Connectivity
Windows Embedded Standard includes security and management technologies to help embedded devices connect seamlessly to Windows Vista and take advantage of the new features in Windows Server 2008. Support for Windows Server Update Services and System Center Configuration Manager helps ensure that Windows Embedded Standard supports enterprise-class manageability of both operating system and application level updates. Standard helps device makers build sophisticated devices with visually compelling user experiences. Windows Embedded Standard delivers features that enable next-generation media experiences, rich interactive applications, and stunning user interfaces, helping device makers bring innovative devices to market faster than ever before, while offering unparalleled connected experiences.
The Windows Embedded Standard release provides the latest version of Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) to help enable Windows Embedded Standard-based thin clients, point of service devices, and multifunction printers to connect using the latest version of Windows Server remote computing technologies. RDP helps you use the new Terminal Services (TS) features and updates introduced in Windows Vista such as Network Level Authentication, Server authentication, resource redirection, TS gateway servers, Remote Programs, monitor spanning, and other visual improvements. Support for Windows Server Update Services and System Center Configuration Manager helps ensure that Windows Embedded Standard supports enterprise-class manageability of both operating system and application level updates helping enterprises to protect, manage, and monitor devices within existing IT infrastructures

| Microsoft SilverlightMicrosoft Silverlight is a cross-browser, cross-platform plug-in for delivering the next generation of media experiences and rich interactive applications (RIAs) for the Web that incorporate video, animation, interactivity, and stunning user interfaces. Windows Internet Explorer 7Windows Internet Explorer 7 comes with improved navigation and search, improved printing, and access to RSS feeds. Dynamic security protection provided by a robust new architecture helps defend against malware and phishing. Windows Internet Explorer 7 also provides an improved platform for Web development and manageability through support for CSS, RSS, and enterprise deployment and management. Windows Media Player 11Windows Media Player 11 includes new media features designed to help manage libraries of digital music, photos, and videos. Windows Media Player 11 automatically converts media files—even protected audio and video files—to optimal quality for smart, connected devices. Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 is the new managed-code programming model for Windows, featuring new technologies for building applications that have a visually compelling user experience, seamless communication across technology boundaries, and support for a wide range of business processes. Some of these new technologies include: Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and Windows Communication Foundation (WCF). Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2) Windows Embedded Standard provides support for WPA2, the latest wireless security solution derived from the IEEE 802.11i standards. WPA2 delivers support for the new Wi-Fi Alliance certification for wireless security, making it easier to connect to secure public spaces that are equipped with wireless Internet access — locations otherwise known as "Wi-Fi hotspots."
