14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft has made available for download the first Multilingual User Interface (MUI) Packs for the latest iteration of its Windows Embedded platform. No less than nine MUI Packs are now available for download to customers leveraging Windows Embedded Standard 7, according to Lynda Allen, Microsoft Embedded program manager. The release of additional languages for the successor of Windows Embedded Standard 2009 comes as the Redmond company released the first updates for the operating system formerly codenamed Quebec.
There are a total of 18 MUI Packs available for download from the Microsoft ECE Site, both for the 32-bit (x86) and 64-bit (x64) flavors of Windows Embedded Standard 7. The languages covered by the software giant are Dutch, Brazilian, Turkish, Portuguese, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Finnish and Greek. “These language packs are live on ECE and will be available shortly through the WEDU client,” Allen added.
But at the same time, there are additional updates offered for the RTM versions of Windows Embedded Standard 7. “The first update on the ECE site, May 2010 Windows Embedded Standard 7 Update, is a roll up of security updates applicable to Windows Embedded Standard 7 up until May 2010, grouped under a master KB number KB982936,” Allen explained. Below you will be able to find a list with all the content of the update rollup.
