• Windows Embedded POSReady 2009 contains the following Embedded Enabling Features: • File-Based Write Filter (FBWF), which redirects writes to disk to RAM and helps protect the underlying OS image. • USB Boot, which allows installation from a USB key. • Office productivity applications are not licensed to be run on POSReady. • POS for .NET is included with POSReady. • POSReady does not contain Help files, which reduces its footprint. • Both products use the same management software. For more information, see POSReady 2009 vs. Windows XP Professional (PDF).
