What is Windows XP Embedded?

Windows XP Embedded enables rapid development of the most reliable and full-featured connected devices. Windows XP Embedded is the componentized version of the leading desktop operating system, enabling rapid development of the most reliable and full-featured connected devices. Based on the same binaries as Windows XP Professional, Windows XP Embedded enables embedded developers to individually select only the rich features they need for customized, reduced-footprint embedded devices. Building upon the proven code base of Windows 2000, Windows XP Embedded delivers industry-leading reliability, security, and performance along with the latest multimedia Web browsing capabilities, and device support. Windows XP Embedded also incorporates the latest embedded-enabling capabilities such as headless support and flexible boot and storage options. In addition, Windows XP Embedded contains a completely redesigned tool set, called Windows Embedded Studio, which enables developers to rapidly configure, build, and deploy smart designs.

* Windows XP Embedded License Issues and Evaluation Development Tools

Note: This Development Kit is supplied with an Evaluation Version of the Windows XP Embedded operating system under the terms of the Windows Embedded Kitting Program. The Development Kit does not include a Certificate of Authenticity (COA) license label, which is no longer required. The use of the Evaluation Version of Windows XP Embedded is subject to your acceptance of the terms of the end user license agreement with Microsoft.

The Development Kit allows you to develop, download and debug your Windows XP application on the CompactFlash card. The Windows XP Embedded operating system image has been created using a unique Arcom PID (issued by Microsoft) and configured to run on the APOLLO single board computer. A copy of the operating system image is included on the Development Kit DVD and may be used to restore the image to the CompactFlash card or to create production copies of the supplied operating system image. Windows XP Embedded licenses may be supplied by one of the following methods:

  • Arcom can install the operating system on a CompactFlash card or hard disk drive and supply a Windows XP Embedded license label (COA)
  • Arcom can install your operating system image under the terms of a Microsoft Third Party Installer agreement. You purchase the Windows XP Embedded license labels (COA) from any approved Windows Embedded distributor and apply these to your product
  • You create your own operating system image (using your own PID) and install this onto your selected media. You purchase the Windows XP Embedded license label (COA) directly from any approved Windows Embedded distributor.

The Development Kit includes a copy of Microsoft Windows Embedded Studio (includes Target Designer, Component Designer etc) to allow you to create a new (120 day time limited) operating system image for evaluation purposes only. To create a new production release copy of the operating system, you will need a licensed copy of Windows Embedded Studio - please contact any approved Windows Embedded distributor.
