What is XP Embedded?

XP Embedded is a modular version of XP Professional. OEM’s such as HomeSeer Technologies are licensed to create their own versions of the operating system. HomeSeer has created a version of XP that contains only the necessary operating system components to support the unit’s control software and add-ons. This greatly reduces the size of the operating system while improving performance. When HomeTroller boots, it uses only 128 MB of Ram. Typical XP systems use about 250 MB or more before any application is loaded. The reduced size of the operating system also increases the reliability since less services are running.
