Windows Embedded

Windows Embedded refers to specially tailored versions of the Microsoft operating system for embedded devices such as operator terminals, point-of-sale systems, or industrial control systems. Unlike the classic desktop version, it can be reduced modularly to the required components and thus adapted to limited memory and defined functions. Historically, the series ranges from Windows CE via Windows Embedded Compact to variants based on Windows for stationary devices. Compared with a leanly built Embedded Linux, it offers a closed ecosystem with versions maintained over the long term.
