Windows Embedded Standard 7
4 August 2010
Computer/Embedded Technology
Microsoft released Windows Embedded Standard 7, delivering the characteristics of the Windows 7 operating system in a highly customisable and componentised form.
OEMs can leverage the OS to create differentiated experiences and enhanced connectivity with Windows-based PCs, servers and online services on specialised devices, such as thin clients, digital signage and industrial controls for the enterprise, as well as set-top boxes (STBs), connected media devices (CMDs) and TVs for consumers.
The platform features the latest Windows technology innovations to drive rich, immersive user experiences, including multigesture touch interfaces and context-aware applications with Windows Touch, and the ability to develop ‘green’ solutions with smart power management APIs.
Industry analyst firm Strategy Analytics estimated the potential market opportunity for connected STBs, digital video recorders, digital media adapters and flat-panel TVs to experience annual growth of more than 50% through 2014, expanding from 40 million units to more than 360 million. OEMs can take advantage of this opportunity by coupling Windows Media Centre and additional features such as Windows Defender and Parental Controls for heightened security, to create differentiated consumer entertainment devices with integrated user experiences. This includes leveraging the customisable, extensible platform in Windows Media Centre for content, services and applications, as well as powerful backend support for metadata, TV listings and content providers.
