14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft has just announced the availability of Windows Embedded Compact 2013, a new version of its embedded operating system specifically aimed at small footprint devices.
It packs the latest Microsoft tools, including Multiple Processor Support, 2-second snapshot boot, Platform Builder and Application Builder in Visual Studio 2012, hard real-time support, and increased networking throughput.
“This little OS has evolved from one target category--small handheld devices--to a general-purpose embedded system that powers everything from tiny controls, to retail POS terminals, to the automation of high-end manufacturing,” Colin Murphy, technical program manager, Microsoft’s Windows Embedded, explained.
“Windows Embedded Compact continues to differentiate itself within Microsoft, and within the larger ecosystem, as an operating system targeting small-footprint devices that need real-time performance and silicon flexibility.”
All details on Windows Embedded Compact 2013 can be found on the official website of the new platform available here.
