Windows Embedded Standard

• Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) 6.1 with Windows Server 2008 support, which allows manufacturers of thin clients, PIC devices, multifunction printers, remote monitors to use the latest Windows Server features: Remote Application, server authentication (TLS / SSL), support for widescreen monitors, and more .
• Microsoft Silverlight is the name of a new technology for presenting data on the Internet for launching on various platforms. Microsoft Silverlight technology is already embedded in Windows Embedded Standard and is available free of charge for embedded systems.
• Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 is a new version of the managed code programming model for the Windows platform.
• Support for corporate management and maintenance. Windows Embedded Standard includes new components to support Windows Server Update Services, System Center Configuration Manager, and Microsoft Operations Manager.
• Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer is a solution that allows you to scan a Windows-based device and check the version of the operating system for vulnerabilities and the presence of patches and security updates recommended for installation.
• The term support and sales. Windows Embedded Standard released November 1, 2008. According to the rules of licensing and support for embedded products, Windows Embedded operating systems have extended support for up to 10 years and the availability of licenses for up to 15 years. This policy provides device developers to more smoothly upgrade to newer operating system versions and protect future investments.

• Write protection filter.

Windows Embedded Standard includes the Enhanced Write Filter (EWF) and File Based Write Filter (FBWF) components. EWF protects the system partition from writing and prevents interference with the embedded system. FBWF allows you to protect individual files and folders and, thus, allows you to leave access to folders in which you want to record files (for example, a folder for recording commercials) while protecting the system folder.

• Support boot from flash media.

Windows Embedded Standard supports booting from most modern flash drives, including DiskOnChip Flash, PCMCIA-ATA, Compact Flash, MultiMediaCard, Memory Stick, as well as USB 2.0 flash drives. When using the write protection filter, developers can significantly increase the life of the flash drive.

• Download from CDs. Windows Embedded Standard supports the El Torito standard for booting from CDs or DVDs.

• Remote boot.

• Autonomous work. Windows Embedded Standard includes a mechanism for intercepting system messages and allows you to create devices without a monitor, mouse, and keyboard.

• Using your own shell. Windows Embedded Standard allows OEM manufacturers to use their own shell instead of the standard Windows Explorer and create fully adapted devices.

Windows Embedded Standard fully supports the Win32 API and the Windows Driver Model (WDM). This means that you can develop applications for Windows Embedded Standard in Microsoft Visual Studio or use any other tools that provide development for Windows XP Professional. Additionally, developers can build their applications based on .Net Framework 3.5 managed code

Preparation and installation of Windows Embedded Standard images is carried out using special development tools - Windows Embedded Studio Platform Development Tool. Development tools consist of several tools:

• Target Analyzer - tools for collecting and maintaining hardware platform configuration information
• Target Designer - a toolkit for collecting, developing and customizing Windows Embedded Standard images
• Component Designer - a database of OS components and tools for creating your own components.

Additional utilities: Component Database; Component Database Manager; Command Line Tool; Device Templates; Footprint Estimator Tool; Component dependency checking; Create a bootable runtime image for a specific target device; Advanced component browsing
