Embedded XP is essentially a stripped-downed version of Windows XP that eliminates unnecessary and troublesome drivers. In the case of the Digital X Bus, both the hardware and software are non-variable ﬁxed values that have enabled us to ﬁne-tune the entire system for maximized performance and reliability. Embedded XP also offers a tremendous value in ﬂexibility and compatibility with standard Windows™ features (such as VST® and USB support), without the potential issues that could arise from the use of a consumer version of Windows XP.
