Windows® XP Embedded delivers the power of Windows in componentized form, enabling you to rapidly build advanced embedded devices. It is the ideal choice for such products as:

  • Thin clients
  • Automated Teller Machines
  • Advanced set-top boxes
  • Advanced residential gateways
  • Industrial controls
  • Kiosks
  • Office automation tools
  • Retail point-of-sale terminals*

*While Windows Embedded for Point of Service (WEPOS) is usually the best choice for POS devices, Windows XPe may be more appropriate for some situations—for example, for devices that use non-standard peripherals or drivers not supported by WEPOS.

Benefits of Using Windows XP Embedded
Windows XP Embedded delivers three primary benefits for your embedded device:

Over 10,000 feature components. Based on the same binaries as Windows XP Professional, Windows XP Embedded contains over 10,000 individual feature components. You can choose exactly which components you need to achieve optimum functionality, while managing or reducing footprint in a customized device image.

Security, reliability, and performance. Windows XP Embedded delivers industry-leading reliability, security, and performance. It also offers the latest multimedia and Web browsing capabilities; extensive device support; and the latest embedded-enabling capabilities, such as support for multiple boot, storage, deployment, and management technologies.

Familiar development tools. Based on the Win32® programming model, Windows XP Embedded reduces time to market with its familiar development tools (such as Visual Studio .NET), ability to work with commodity PC hardware, and seamless integration of desktop applications, drivers, and services. Windows XP Embedded also has its own development environment, the Target Designer. This collection of tools streamlines the end-to-end development process, enabling you to rapidly configure, build, and deploy smart device designs with rich applications.
