Using Windows XP Pro in embedded devices allows OEMs to minimize development time while offering an industry standard user interface and easy interconnectivity with other Microsoft applications and services. OEMs using Windows XP Pro in their embedded devices should be purchasing the Windows XP Pro for Embedded Systems version through a Microsoft Authorized Embedded Distributor. This is the correctly licensed product for this application and will continue to be sold through December 2016. OEMs can also migrate to Windows 7 Professional for Embedded Systems, Windows 7 Ultimate for Embedded Systems, Windows Vista Business for Embedded Systems, or Windows Vista Ultimate for Embedded Systems which are available through a Microsoft Authorized Embedded Distributor.
