As many of you are probably already aware — and as my colleague Barb Edson explained in a blog post last April — Windows XP reaches End of Support on April 8, 2014, which is just a few weeks away. As a result, there will be no new security updates, non-security hotfixes, free or paid assisted support options, or online technical content updates. Please click here for more details.
This is a significant event for Windows, and it also has implications for Windows Embedded products that are based on the Windows XP operating system.
Windows Embedded products have their own distinct support lifecycles, based on when the product was released and made generally available. It is important for enterprises to understand the support implications for these products in order to ensure that systems remain up to date and secure. The following Windows Embedded products are based on Windows XP:
- Windows XP Professional for Embedded Systems. This product is identical to Windows XP, and Extended Support will end on April 8, 2014.
- Windows XP Embedded Service Pack 3 (SP3). This is the original toolkit and componentized version of Windows XP. It was originally released in 2002, and Extended Support will end on Jan. 12, 2016.
- Windows Embedded for Point of Service SP3. This product is for use in Point of Sale devices. It’s built from Windows XP Embedded. It was originally released in 2005, and Extended Support will end on April 12, 2016.
- Windows Embedded Standard 2009. This product is an updated release of the toolkit and componentized version of Windows XP. It was originally released in 2008; and Extended Support will end on Jan. 8, 2019.
- Windows Embedded POSReady 2009. This product for point-of-sale devices reflects the updates available in Windows Embedded Standard 2009. It was originally released in 2009, and extended support will end on April 9, 2019.
Windows 7 vs Windows Embedded Standard 7: The Key Differences. The most common question we receive about Windows Embedded Stnadard 7 is how it differs from the other versions of the Windows 7 OS. The most appealing functional difference is the ability to customize Windows Embedded Standard 7 with only the applicable modules for a given project. Apr 18, 2019 Windows Embedded Standard 2009. This product is an updated release of the toolkit and componentized version of Windows XP. It was originally released in 2008, and Extended Support will end on January 8, 2019. Windows Embedded POSReady 2009. This product for point of sale devices reflects the updates available in Windows Embedded Standard 2009.
We know enterprises are concerned about what this means for continued support, particularly when it comes to the availability of security updates for the software that underlies many existing devices. The following are notes on some common questions.
What is covered by Extended Support for Windows Embedded products?
Critical security updates are made available for products until the published Extended Support end date. This allows enterprises to ensure that they are up to date in protection against security attacks. These updates will continue to be made available through the usual channels of MyOEM, Windows Embedded Developer Update and Microsoft OEM Online, as well as through Windows Update for point-of-sale systems.
What does this mean for other parts of the system?
While most of the Windows Embedded operating system will continue to receive critical security updates, it is important to ensure that other parts of the system that are not part of the operating system are also kept up to date, and that protections are in place. This includes items such as software included on the device, antivirus solutions and management solutions on the device, as well as throughout the IT infrastructure. Check with the providers of all parts of the infrastructure to ensure that they will continue to offer support for XP-based platforms. Microsoft will continue to provide anti-malware definition updates to those operating systems licensed to run our anti-malware products through their end-of-life dates.
Updating is only one part of being secure
As attacks become ever more sophisticated, it is clear there is no single solution to ensure a system is secure. There is excellent advice at the Security TechCenter on keeping a system secure.
Improved security with newer versions of Windows
It’s also worth noting that the security protections in Windows have evolved significantly since Windows XP was released. For example, the integrity mechanisms available in later versions of Windows support features such as User Account Control and IE Protected mode by restricting access to processes, files and registry keys. The best form of defense is to use newer versions of Windows Embedded, such as the recently released Windows Embedded 8.1 Industry. Windows 8.1 includes a number of security improvements, including secure and trusted boot to ensure that a system is not tampered with during the boot process.

Windows IoT, formerly Windows Embedded, is a family of operating systems from Microsoft designed for use in embedded systems. Microsoft currently has three different subfamilies of operating systems for embedded devices targeting a wide market, ranging from small-footprint, real-time devices to point of sale (POS) devices like kiosks. Windows Embedded operating systems are available to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), who make it available to end users preloaded with their hardware, in addition to volume license customers in some cases.
In April 2018, Microsoft released Azure Sphere, another operating system designed for IoT applications running on the Linux kernel.

History[edit]
In mid-1998, Microsoft worked with VenturCom, a company that specialized in software for embedded systems, for their Windows NT Embedded product.[3] Windows NT Embedded 4.0 got its start in 1998 with a small team of developers at Microsoft. This project, known within Microsoft as Impala, was released in 1999 as Windows NT Embedded 4.0—a set of tools and a database of approximately 250 components that allowed developers to put together small Windows NT 4.0 run-time images for embedded devices. The tools allowed OEMs and embedded developers to create components encapsulating their binaries, and to add them seamlessly into Windows NT Embedded runtimes containing limited functionality and devices. Minimum run-time images were as small as 9 MB for a system featuring the full Win32 API. Shortly after release, in early 2000, Microsoft decided that it was best to take that architecture and make a new product leveraging the new Windows code. A new Windows Embedded team was formed, under the leadership of Bruce Beachman. He served as the Product Unit Manager (PUM) of the first Windows Embedded – and started recruiting engineers within Microsoft. The team set their sights on this next version. A decision was made to stop development of Windows 2000 Embedded,[4] and start work on a Windows XP Embedded product (then called Whistler). Plans were drawn up, the team was expanded, and work started on Whistler Embedded, codenamed Mantis. The component count has risen from 250 to over 10,000—most of them device-driver components. The feature set of the embedded tools was enriched to include things like basic version control, component scripting, and expandability. Tools were also added to make it easier to start with a blank slab of hardware and to deploy an embedded OS on it quickly and easily. On August 26, 2001, Beta 2 of Windows XP Embedded was released, with a full release planned for later that year.[5] The initial team consisted of:
- Tim Hill, Group Program Manager who was in charge of the PM team, and served as the overall architect
- Mike Cherry, Program Manager, who was leading the infrastructural process work
- Bill Luan, Program Manager, who was in charge of the design of the first internal tool iCat, which enabled all the Windows team engineers to 'componentize' their features in Windows. Later, this product became the Windows Embedded Component Designer in the released product
- Steve Jiang, Program Manager, who was in charge of the first version of the Target Design, which is the product that enabled developers to build embedded target images
Target Designer and Component Designer was the two-parts suite in the first version of Windows Embedded Suite. The first test team manager was Bombo Sofa, who lead the first XPe Test team starting in 2000. Under Bruce Beachman's leadership, Microsoft shipped the first version of Windows Embedded (XPe) at the DevCon / Windows Hardware Conference in 2001.
In 2002, Bruce Beachman left Microsoft, and Peter Wilson took over the XPe team as its PUM, and by then the team was merged into Windows Deployment team, and they released XPe SP1 at DevCon in Las Vegas in late 2003.

Embedded Compact[edit]
Windows Embedded Compact (previously known as Windows Embedded CE or Windows CE)[6] is the version of Windows Embedded for very small computers and embedded systems, including consumer electronics devices like set-top boxes and video game consoles. Windows Embedded Compact is a modular real-time operating system with a specialized kernel that can run in under 1 MB of memory. It comes with the Platform Builder tool that can be used to add modules to the installation image to create a custom installation, depending on the device used. Windows Embedded Compact is available for ARM, MIPS, SuperH and x86 processor architectures.[7]
Microsoft made available a specialized version of Windows Embedded Compact, known as Windows Mobile, for use in mobile phones. It is a customized image of Windows Embedded Compact along with specialized modules for use in Mobile phones. Windows Mobile was available in four variants: Windows Mobile Classic (for Pocket PC), Windows Mobile Standard (for smartphones) and Windows Mobile Professional (for PDA/Pocket PC Phone Edition) and Windows Mobile for Automotive (for communication/entertainment/information systems used in automobiles). Modified versions of Windows Mobile were used for Portable Media Centers. In 2010, Windows Mobile was replaced by Windows Phone 7, which was also based on Windows Embedded Compact, but was not compatible with any previous products.
Windows Embedded Compact 2013[8] is a real-time operating system which runs on ARM, X86, SH, and derivatives of those architectures. It included .NET Framework, UI framework, and various open source drivers and services as 'modules'.[9]
Embedded Standard[edit]
Windows Embedded Standard is the brand of Windows Embedded operating systems designed to provide enterprises and device manufacturers the freedom to choose which capabilities will be part of their industry devices and intelligent system solutions[buzzword], intended to build ATMs and devices for the healthcare and manufacturing industries, creating industry-specific devices. This brand consists of Windows NT 4.0 Embedded, Windows XP Embedded, Windows Embedded Standard 2009 (WES09), Windows Embedded Standard 7, and Windows Embedded 8 Standard. It provides the full Win32 API.[7] Windows Embedded Standard 2009 includes Silverlight, .NET Framework 3.5, Internet Explorer 7, Windows Media Player 11, RDP 6.1, Network Access Protection, Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer and support for being managed by Windows Server Update Services and System Center Configuration Manager.[10]

Embedded Industry[edit]
Windows Embedded Industry is the brand of Windows Embedded operating systems for industry devices and once only for point of sale systems. This brand was limited to the Windows Embedded for Point of Service operating system released in 2006, which is based on Windows XP Embedded.[6] Microsoft also has an updated version of Windows Embedded for Point of service, named Windows embedded POSReady 2009. However, Windows Embedded POSReady 7 based on Windows 7 SP1 was released in 2011 which succeeded POSReady 2009. Microsoft has since changed the name of this product from 'Windows Embedded POSReady' to 'Windows Embedded Industry'. Microsoft released Windows Embedded 8 Industry in April 2013, followed by 8.1 Industry in October 2013.
Embedded NAVReady[edit]
Windows Embedded NAVReady also called as Navigation Ready which is plug-in component for Windows CE 5.0 and useful for building portable handheld navigation devices.
